Hi, I'm using Revit 2014 and want to make a custom brick pattern (model lines). I want to have a running bond using 18"x48" blocks - I've managed to make an 18"x36" .pat file but I'm not figuring out how to make a non 1:2 pattern. Seems pretty basic yet I'm new to making patterns. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

This is what I have for the 36" even though I want a 48" width. 

;%UNITS=INCH

;%VERSION=3.0

*Running Bond 18x36,  18 x 36 panels running bond

;%TYPE=MODEL,

0,             0,             0,             0,             18

90,            0,             0,             18,             18,             18,             -18

Here is a 1/3 running bond - use that to help you figure this out.

Or maybe this is easier to follow

*12x24 1/4 running bond

;%TYPE=MODEL

0,    0,0,    0,24

90,    0,0,    0,24,    12,-12
