pat file – those of you who are familiar with AutoCAD will know that the hatch patterns in Autocad are. I’m guessing this is probably not the kind of hatch pattern you wanted to create! So click on Custom and click on Import. Here you can create a simple line pattern, basically a bunch of repeating parallel or intersecting lines (pretty boring stuff!). To the right, click New to create a new pattern. This will bring up the Fill Patterns dialog box which shows you all the fill patterns available. To create a new fill pattern, go to the Manage Tab, click on ‘Additional Settings’ and on the drop down click on Fill Patterns. This is especially true if you are coming from AutoCAD and you want your documentation to be consistent.Ĭreating your own custom Revit hatch patterns is actually quite easy if you follow the steps outlined in this blog post. A question I get asked about a lot (and I’m sure you have probably asked this yourself!) is how do I make my own Revit hatch patterns?! Revit comes with a bunch of great out-of-the-box patterns, but every company has there own particular ‘look’ where custom hatch patterns are needed.
