![]() ![]() In the image below, you can see that I also have a fill pattern assigned to the cut of the Walls model category. You’ll notice that I already have a Revit hatch pattern applied to the surface of the wall. In the image below, you can see a wall that I have modeled (there is also a section box shown in blue lines). .PAT FILES FOR REVIT HOW TOThere are a number of ways to apply Revit hatch patterns to elements within Revit, but in this post I’ll only cover how to manage them from the Visibility/Graphics Override settings. ![]() It will guide you through building the hatch pattern below using nothing but plain text. ![]() If you really would like to learn to generate Revit hatch patterns from scratch, I would recommend following the Create a Custom Pattern File on the Autodesk Knowledge Network. If you are good with numbers, you can actually create your own Revit Hatch Pattern in your favorite text editor (I recommend Sublime Text). (For the record, I’m not necessarily supporting the process of exploding imported CAD files!) There are few techniques out there to help you get AutoCAD hatch patterns in Revit – some of which are as simple as importing a CAD file to Revit and then exploding it. The pattern should maintain it’s dimensions as a model element does, hence the name “model pattern”.įor those of you who have a background in AutoCAD, you’ll be happy to know that Revit supports hatch patterns from AutoCAD DWGs. This is exactly as a user would expect as bricks should not change size based on the scale of a drawing. Revit hatch patterns at 1/4” = 1’-0” scale.Īs shown in the examples above, the diagonal hatch pattern (drafting pattern) changes based on the drawing scale while the brick hatch pattern (model pattern) remains the same. The difference is model patterns remain a fixed size relative to the model, and drafting patterns remain a fixed size relative to the scale of the view that is displayed in.Īn example of the different use cases for each is a brick pattern on the face of a wall versus a crosshatch pattern on a wall. If you’ve been exposed to fill patterns in Revit, you may have noticed that there are two types of Revit hatch patterns, drafting patterns and model patterns. Check out the drawing of the Confederate State Capitol of Arkansas below. Hatch patterns have been used in technical illustration since we were drafting with pencils on paper. They can help denote the material of an element, differentiate a section cut from the surface of an element, and even help identify that an element is of special interest like a clearance area for a piece of equipment. Revit hatch patterns, officially known as Fill Patterns, are a critical graphical element when developing drawings in Revit. ![]()
