We have a project which has ceiling tiles that have a wood grain pattern on them. I am trying to create this in our model, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Since a ceiling grid is essentially a hatch pattern itself, I can't find a way to embed another pattern within it. I have attached a pdf of what I need to do, which I created in autoCAD. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

The only way I could think to do this is if you have a patern reader program where you can make a new .pat file that incorperates the grain look and the act patern.

I don't have a program to do that, but I tried to manually create the ceiling grid with that hatch pattern together, and it doesn't really let me. It will only show one or the other. Thanks for the help though!

A possible work around is to import the autocad hatch pattern and manually fill a region on your ceiling plan with the fill region set to transparent.

You don't need to import a cad hatch. Just add a filled region using the wood hatch & set it to transparent.

The metric version does not seem to have a wood hatch by default, but that would make sense.

I believe the hatch pattern you are looking for is "Wood 5". Go to "Settings", "Hatch Patterns..." and click new. Click the "Custom" radio button, then the "Import...." button. In the explorer box, navigate to "Program Files/Revit Architecture 2009/Data" and select the REVIT.PAT (or REVIT METRIC.PAT). In the list that opens, choose "Wood_5" and click OK. You now have a hatch pattern called "Wood_5" that looks like the one in your PDF. HTH
