Can anyone assist with getting this to be a staggered pattern?

Verticals and horizontals are where they need to be with the exception of shifting every other row of panels

 I am clueless at this point and have attached the *.pat file in hopes of assistance.

Thanks.

Ok,

Using attached "8x16" block file as the pattern, I can only seem to get the horizontal lines  going how I need them. I am having trouble with the angled vertical lines.  I cannot get them to fall in between and on the ends of the dashed horizontal lines. Essentially i am trying to make a pattern of staggered parallagram panels. I have attached the example pat file, my pat file, and an image of where i am at the moment.

Help is greatly appreciated.

Could you post a dimensioned sketch of the pattern you want to achieve?

Here's the block pattern you posted skewed @ 60 degrees: 

;%VERSION=3.0

;%UNITS=INCH

*SKEWED BLOCK-8X16,8 x 16 Block Running Bond, skewed 60deg

;%TYPE=MODEL

Try this based on 2' x 4' with 60 deg included angle and 1/2" gap, origin at lower left corner:

;%VERSION=3.0

;%UNITS=INCH

*24X48SKEWED60PANEL

;%TYPE=MODEL

The pattern will load to Revit at 1:1 scale (and took about 10 minutes to do and test).
