Hi, I'm studying how best to represent a modulation of masonry in Revit 2010. Already evaluated the use families, but I noticed, though this method is interesting, the project file gets too heavy.

Then I started to evaluate the use of Fill Patterns. I noticed that I can create a hatch pattern (attached) specific to a particular dimension of wall (length x height). In this hatch pattern I'm considering modules for a possible block size of the wall.

Apr 10, 2016 Believe it or not, pattern files are popular. As in, some of the most visited pages on this blog have to do with Revit pattern files. You know, those files. Oct 28, 2017 Following on from my last post about new features in Revit 2018.2, there are some very nice tweaks to the Pattern dialog boxes: Fill Patterns. How to change a Revit Fill Pattern Scale by Micrographics South Africa. Micrographics are Autodesk consultants in South Africa. In Autodesk Revit, Fill Patterns help define materials on an element's surface and when it is cut; in elevations, 3D views and sections. This post will cover a few.

This because I'm wanting to represent the modulation exactly as it is, and not using a representation simplified, as the hatch pattern available in Revit. But I'm finding some problems: 1. I am using OFFSET = 2 x Height of Wall. I adopted this value for 2 reasons: 1.1. I can not use the value ZERO 1.2. If I use the height of the wall, I noticed that part of the hatch appears on the opposite side of the wall.

But using OFFSET = 2 x height of wall, I noticed that the hatch pattern appears only on one side. How to do this hatch pattern appears on the other side of the wall? As this hatch pattern is specific to a particular dimension of the wall would have to rewrite it to a new dimension to the wall. So, Is there a way to improve the PAT file code to solve this issue?

Your hatch pattern file contains about a hundred lines of code. You are writing code for every course of block. However, the pattern still doesn't work. Look at this other pattern, already created for AutoCAD, which you can import into Revit; it contains 6 lines of code, only, just the pattern, and it does work. *BLOCWALL, Cement block wall;%TYPE=MODEL 0, 0,0,.5.5,.96.04 0, 0.46,.5.5,.96.04 90, 0,0,.5.5,.46.54 90,.04,0,.5.5,.46.54 About how to make the wall show the patterns on both sides, select a wall >duplicate >rename >edit structure >material >select a material >etc. Please see attached image.

Alfredo Medina info@planta1.com. Alfredo, Thank you for the feedback! Your hatch pattern does not solve my problem because it only represents at most an entire block and a half block. I need represent all the modules in a family of blocks according to the available space on the wall and so satisfy a particular modulation. That is why I described each row in my hatch pattern. Actually, my pattern will only work for a wall of 1000x2700mm.

For any other measure will have to update the PAT. Allure Featuring Julie Thompson Somewhere Inside Of Me Mp3. I certainly do not want to do it manually. I'm thinking of automating this task using the Revit API. I've tried to use your suggestion to display the hatch pattern on both sides of the wall, but unsuccessfully. I noticed that when I apply a hatch pattern that you sent me or any of Revit, I don't need to do any adjustment to display them on either side of the wall.

But when I apply my hatch pattern is not true. I'm adding two layers (membrane layers) in the wall structure and applying a hatch patterns But, Revit seems to ignore my settings. Any suggestions? You can use the align tool on surface patterns in Revit. Build the walls you need in the specific lengths and then use the align tool to position the pattern as you need it on each seperate wall segment. -- Jeff Hanson SME (Subject Matter Expert) Autodesk - BIM UX Manchester, NH wrote in message news:6374816@discussion.autodesk.com.
