Maybe this is simple but I'm not getting it to work.  I'm trying to get 2 courses of 24x12 and then a single course of 24x8 below that, then repeat. 

To start it, I was just trying to get the individual courses setup with the below.  I know (at least part) of the issue is that both patterns are starting in the same location, when I need the 24x8 to start after 2 courses of 24x12 above.  Can you do that in a pattern file, or do you need to arrange continuous DASHED lines to make this work?  Any help is appreciated (Revit 2020).  Thanks!

The pattern can be made a little simpler  by using this.

;%UNITS=INCHES

* Double 24x12 Single 24x8,

;%TYPE=MODEL

0, 0,0, 0,32

0, 0,12, 0,32

0, 0,24, 0,32

90, 0,0, 32,12, 12,-52

90, 12,12, 32,12, 12,-52

90, 0,24, 32,12, 8,-56
