Hello. Thanks very much for taking the time to produce this video. I found it very helpful. All the best. I'm based in Australia and have set up some custom patterns to reflect the standard rounding that we do out here i.e. 7 courses at 86mm = 602, but we rationalise this to 600mm by working on a couple of 9mm mortar joints instead of 10mm to acheive the 600mm module. All joints and course lines habve been rounded to the nearest 1mm. Here they are if anyone is interested: ;%VERSION=3.0 ;%UNITS=MM *Brick 76Hx230W stretcher bond, Standard Australian brickwork stretcher bond ;%TYPE=MODEL 0,0,0,0,600 0,0,86,0,600 0,0,172,0,600 0,0,257,0,600 0,0,343,0,600 0,0,429,0,600 0,0,514,0,600 90,0,0,0,240,86,-86,85,-86,86,-85,86,-86,86,-85,86,-86,85,-86 90,120,0,0,240,-86,86,-85,86,-86,85,-86,86,-86,85,-86,86,-85,86 ;%VERSION=3.0 ;%UNITS=MM *Brick 76Hx230W stretcher bond with mortar, Standard Australian brickwork stretcher bond with mortar ;%TYPE=MODEL 0,0,10,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,86,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,96,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,172,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,181,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,257,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,267,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,343,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,353,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,429,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,438,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,514,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,524,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,600,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,610,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,686,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,696,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,772,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,781,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,857,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,867,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,943,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,953,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,1029,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,1038,0,1200,230,-10 0,0,1114,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,1124,0,1200,230,-10 0,120,1200,0,1200,230,-10 90,0,10,0,240,76,-95,76,-96,76,-95,76,-96,76,-95,76,-95,76,-96 90,230,10,0,240,76,-95,76,-96,76,-95,76,-96,76,-95,76,-95,76,-96 90,120,0,0,240,-96,76,-95,76,-95,76,-96,76,-95,76,-96,76,-95,76 90,350,0,0,240,-96,76,-95,76,-95,76,-96,76,-95,76,-96,76,-95,76 ;%VERSION=3.0 ;%UNITS=MM *Brick 76Hx110W stack bond with mortar, Standard Australian brickwork stack bond with mortar ;%TYPE=MODEL 0,0,10,0,600,110,-10 0,0,86,0,600,110,-10 0,0,96,0,600,110,-10 0,0,172,0,600,110,-10 0,0,181,0,600,110,-10 0,0,257,0,600,110,-10 0,0,267,0,600,110,-10 0,0,343,0,600,110,-10 0,0,353,0,600,110,-10 0,0,429,0,600,110,-10 0,0,438,0,600,110,-10 0,0,514,0,600,110,-10 0,0,524,0,600,110,-10 0,0,600,0,600,110,-10 90,0,10,0,120,76,-10,76,-9,76,-10,76,-10,76,-9,76,-10,76,-10 90,110,10,0,120,76,-10,76,-9,76,-10,76,-10,76,-9,76,-10,76,-10 ;%VERSION=3.0 ;%UNITS=MM *Brick 76Hx230W soldier stack bond, Standard Australian brickwork soldier stack bond ;%TYPE=MODEL 0,0,0,0,240 90,0,0,0,600 90,86,0,0,600 90,172,0,0,600 90,257,0,0,600 90,343,0,0,600 90,429,0,0,600 90,514,0,0,600 ;%VERSION=3.0 ;%UNITS=MM *Brick 76Hx230W soldier stack bond with mortar, Standard Australian brickwork soldier stack bond with mortar ;%TYPE=MODEL 0,0,10,0,240,76,-10,76,-10,75,-10,76,-10,76,-10,75,-10,76,-10 0,0,240,0,240,76,-10,76,-10,75,-10,76,-10,76,-10,75,-10,76,-10 90,0,10,0,600,230,-10 90,76,10,0,600,230,-10 90,86,10,0,600,230,-10 90,162,10,0,600,230,-10 90,172,10,0,600,230,-10 90,248,10,0,600,230,-10 90,257,10,0,600,230,-10 90,333,10,0,600,230,-10 90,343,10,0,600,230,-10 90,419,10,0,600,230,-10 90,429,10,0,600,230,-10 90,505,10,0,600,230,-10 90,514,10,0,600,230,-10 90,590,10,0,600,230,-10 ;%VERSION=3.0 ;%UNITS=MM *Brick 76Hx162W soldier stack bond, Standard Australian brickwork soldier stack bond ;%TYPE=MODEL 0,0,0,0,172 90,0,0,0,600 90,86,0,0,600 90,172,0,0,600 90,257,0,0,600 90,343,0,0,600 90,429,0,0,600 90,514,0,0,600 ;%VERSION=3.0 ;%UNITS=MM *Brick 76Hx162W soldier stack bond with mortar, Special Australian brickwork soldier stack bond with mortar ;%TYPE=MODEL 0,0,10,0,172,76,-10,76,-10,75,-10,76,-10,76,-10,75,-10,76,-10 0,0,172,0,172,76,-10,76,-10,75,-10,76,-10,76,-10,75,-10,76,-10 90,0,10,0,600,162,-10 90,76,10,0,600,162,-10 90,86,10,0,600,162,-10 90,162,10,0,600,162,-10 90,172,10,0,600,162,-10 90,248,10,0,600,162,-10 90,257,10,0,600,162,-10 90,333,10,0,600,162,-10 90,343,10,0,600,162,-10 90,419,10,0,600,162,-10 90,429,10,0,600,162,-10 90,505,10,0,600,162,-10 90,514,10,0,600,162,-10 90,590,10,0,600,162,-10 Sincerely, Michael Sandel Plan Source E michael.s@plansource.com.au

Thank you, very helpful and insightful. Please remember that with hatch patterns, if you change dimensional info in the Fill Patterns dialog box from the family editor's Additional Settings. Then reload it into your original model or nested family, and the pattern was already defined, the new settings will not take effect. You will then need to update the Fill Patterns dialog box in your host family or your project to match. In short, if you are looking to edit an existing fill pattern don't open the family editor just make the changes in your project's Fill Pattern Dialog box.

Hey awesome video! I'm actually getting the first method to work by editing Revit's default PAT file. I have a question for you. I am creating a Norman brick with a 1/3 running bond in US Imperial. so 12" x 2.667" brick with the running bond spaced at 1/3 the distance from the one below (4"). To achieve this, I have my horizontal information set to 90,0,0,2.667,4,2.667,-2.667. I need to space the bricks apart 12", but I cannot input this number. According to your example in the first method, you have the horizontal distance between vertical lines set to 400, but it is not described in your note pad and you didn't mention that number in the video. How do I tell the pattern file what this number needs to be? Thanks so much your videos are awesome! Liked and Subbed
@AussieBIMGuru
2 жыл бұрын
I actually use a bit of a shortcut with my first example by specifying a vertical and horizontal offset for the vertical line, so it will repeat in both directions to create the staggered brick pattern (on the second notepad line). A more exhaustive way to do this is to draw your pattern freehand, find an origin point and identify the repeating pieces you need to 'build' the pattern overall. For a 1/3 running bond I think you might need 3 lines. These days I typically use pyRevit to make patterns which comes with a great tool that can create a tileable pattern from detail lines you draw in Revit. From there you can view the .pat file and it will reveal the code required, so it can be a good learning aid too.

Depending which one it is being used in for the values, it would move in the opposite direction. E.g. a negative rotation (ccw), a pattern repeating in the opposite direction, moving down/back, or starting below/behind the origin of the definition. Generally most patterns can be written with no negative values I believe.
that is amazing, thank you so much, however, this is absolutely crazy that you pay so much for a architectural program, and you have to do code for such a basic thing.

Sure the first 4 aren't in Revit, but they're the fundamental methods all the addins are working from essentually. They're worth sharing and are the fallbacks when addins dont cut it. No point in sitting around waiting for someone else to solve a problem if another way is immediately possible in my experience. When PyRevit works it's great, no issues for me so far but I know a lot of addins conflict with it so maybe review which addins you are using and avoid any that arent well supported or regularly updated by their authors. Try dynapat or honeypat maybe? caddetailsblog.com/post/dynapat-ultimate-pattern-maker-for-revit-by-dynamo

Thanks! I moved all my material to github recently, the hatch files are here; github.com/aussieBIMguru/Misc/blob/master/ABG_190326_HatchPatterns-Tools.zip I found getpat doesn't always work in later autocad builds, it's quite old now (I first used it in 2012!). I'd suggest trying out the plugin 'Pyrevit' which has a great pattern drawing tool like getpat, and works in Revit as well.
