hi,

i have copied this pattern from revit city, 1. its not behaving like a model pattern, 2. i cant understand the values in the patern, are they in cm,inches or in mm etc.

can some one here help me with the same pattern but with custom values for metric system.

horizontal mortar joint is 20mm wide and vertical joint is 10mm wide and the panel or the brick pattern size is 1790x780mm

pls. see the pattern below

Add this line in your heading and see what happens:

;%UNITS=INCH

Change it to metric and see how it works.  I think its metric because it sure doesn't look like inches.

That pattern looks like it is expressed in feet, which is ironically usless for Revit as despite Revit storing all lengths internally as feet it requires pattern to be input as inches or millimetres.

Anyhow, try this:

 

;%VERSION=3.0

;%UNITS=MM

*MODELBRICK1800X800,horizontal 1790mmx780mm bond=1/2

;%TYPE=MODEL
