Hi All,
Trying to make a vertical plywood fill pattern, but am not familiar enough with process to create same. I have a horizontal fill pattern, (from Acad.pat file) but I don't know what to manipulate to make it vertical, and the Revit plywood pattern I created only wants to show up horizontal. Clues for the clueless?
Thx.
jb

I'm not sure how patterns are created in Autocad, but I've created some by editing the .pat text file. It's a royal pain to do it that way and I think there should be an easier way! Anyways, all that to say, I don't know how to do what you're asking other than spend hours "hand coding" it...there's probably an easier way though. There might be a piece of software out there that turns dwg's into patterns or something...

jb,
here's a link with a list of some hatch pattern generators. I think most of them cost like $45-$55 but most have trial versions.

also, here's a tutorial on making hatch patterns from scratch..

Hi JB,
are you looking for a section of the veneers (on 1/8" Centers or the actual grain of the face (with biscuits)?
If you have an existing Pattern, e-mail it to me and I'll manipulate it to the vert. position.

Open the plywood-section detail component in the imperial library. Edit the existing fill making it a model fill. You'll have to create a new model fill. Use this hatch pattern as the .pat file that you import as custom. Use an import scale of .2 , then save it. NOW which ever way you draw the sheathing the plywood pattern will stay aligned. *plywood;%TYPE=MODEL180.00000, 4.00000,2.00000, 0.00000,4.0000045.00000, 2.00000,2.00000, 2.82843,2.82843, 2.82843,-2.82843135.00000, 4.00000,0.00000, 2.82843,-2.82843, 2.82843,-2.82843135.00000, 2.00000,0.00000, 2.82843,-2.82843, 2.82843,-2.8284345.00000, 0.00000,2.00000, 2.82843,2.82843, 2.82843,-2.828430.00000, 0.00000,0.00000, 0.00000,4.00000

clinard - I have attempted to make a new .pat file by pasting in the code that you posted, and I'm getting an error message "syntax error on line 3" when attempting to load the pattern file into REVIT as a custom model pattern. Is there anything I need to know about how the code is formatted? Thanks.

Text in this forum may not be formatted correctly to just copy paste into a pattern file. That is probably your problem. Here is a plywood file:

How small are you trying to make this pattern? It becomes a solid when it is too small. This pattern is for detail views, not small scale views.
