I need the attached hatch pattern.  I have tried to get it to work how I need it and it seems like it should be really simple but I can't get it. Can someone give me the values that I need to use?

Here is a simple instruction image for you to learn how to do it yourself.

Thank you very much Beau.  Can you take a look at what I have, I am very close but I don't know where I am going wrong, in the image there is a line crossed out in red.  That line shouldn't be there and that distance is currently 10" but I need to to only be 5".

I'm unsure why you have 5 separate lines of written code. Is your pattern not just two lines that repeat themselves?. If so then your hatch pattern code will only be two separate lines of  written code too.

There are 5 lines... from 0 there is one at 5", one at 5.875", one at 10.125", one at 11" and the entire panel is 16" wide.  I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.  Can you shoot me over what you would do for this pattern?

I agree with Beaucoupnice. You only need 2 lines. First line at 0,0,0,5 Second line at .25,0,0,5. Doesn't that work? Or am I missing your point?

Edit: I think I get where the confusion is. You said "The Panel" is 16 inches. You're not creating a 16" panel; you're creating a REPEATING PATTERN to apply a panel face - whatever length it happens to be. Is that right?

Hi Teafoe5,

Apologies for delay in getting back to you. But RevitCity website is redirecting me to the About page and I have had to access it via a proxy link.

Apologies again but I was wrong. You actually need four lines of text to write this pattern. I didn't see the 4 1/4".

So to write this I converted it to millimetres to make it easier. So 5" = 127mm, 7/8 = 22.2mm and 4 1/4 = 107.95.

The first line is the vertical line to the left of the lefthand 5" in your sketch. It is 90 degrees, it starts at 0 X coordinate and 0 Y coordinate, it has a 0 shift, is offset 279.35mm until the next time it is needed.

90, 0,  0, 0, 279.35

The second line is the vertical line to the right of the lefthand 5". It is 90 degrees also, it starts at 127mm X coordinate and 0 Y coordinate, it has a 0 shift, and is also offset 279.35mm until the next time it is needed.

90, 127, 0, 0, 279.35

The third line is the vertical line to the right of the lefthand 7/8". It is 90 degrees also, it starts at 149.2mm X coordinate and 0 Y coordinate, it has a 0 shift, and is also offset 279.35mm until the next time it is needed.

90, 149.2, 0, 0, 279.35

The fourth and final line is the vertical line to the right of the lefthand 4 1/4". It is 90 degrees also, it starts at 257.15mm X coordinate and 0 Y coordinate, it has a 0 shift, and is also offset 279.35mm until the next time it is needed.

90, 257.15, 0, 0, 279.35

The correct writing of the hatch overall should therefore be:

;%UNITS=MM*Teafoe5;%TYPE=MODEL90, 0,  0, 0, 279.3590, 127, 0, 0, 279.3590, 149.2, 0, 0, 279.3590, 257.15, 0, 0, 279.35

Good Luck.

I can't for the love of me understand why I make such an effort to help sometimes...... maybe its the joy in helping someone....

Cheers

Awesome thank you Beau for clearing that up!

Helping people is it's own reward and it is much appreciated!

I have found that this is a two way street.   We are rewarded when we help someone both in feelings and in knowledge.  I always learn from teaching.

Formatting here is sometimes arcane, try this:

;%UNITS=MM

*Teafoe5

;%TYPE=MODEL

90, 0,  0, 0, 279.35

90, 127, 0, 0, 279.35

90, 149.2, 0, 0, 279.35

90, 257.15, 0, 0, 279.35
