Navigate to the *.pat file and select it.Ĭhoose the file in the import list. In the dialogue box that appears choose the Custom option. Drafting for the annotation objects and Model for 3D objects and Elevations. First choose whether to create a Drafting or Model Hatch. From the drop down menu, select Fill patterns To import into Revit select the Manage tab and choose Additional Settings. Once edited the *’pat file is saved in the same place as the revit.pat file. *HBFLEMET,Brickworkflemishbond Free patterns from %TYPE=MODEL These are Drafting or Model and *.pat file must have lines of code to accept these options, also the units of the hatch must be stated so that scaling problems do not occur. There are two options when importing a pattern file into Revit. However a few extra lines of code need to be added before it is imported into Revit. Voila! You have the pattern that you don't have to spend forever trying to recreate.ĮDIT: The reason for the multiple files.when you try to copy and paste Windows will lose the info on what is getting copied.but the next view is the same pat files, so you have time to paste.Revit accepts the same format Hatch pattern as AutoCAD, which is the *.pat file extension which is editable using notepad. The pattern name is FP_(x).you will find that same pattern name in the PAT files you copied over. Now, open the CAD file you just exported and find the fill your wanting to acquire.

I copy and paste all the PAT files into my other open window. What will happen is you will see the DWG being saved, then PAT files, and when the PCP file is saved the PAT files disappear. Open one explore window with where your exporting the DWG.open another one to save the PAT files. Don't just select one! The pat files will disappear too fast! Select multiple views for DWG export that has the pattern you want to get. There is a little trick I discovered on how to get pat files from Revit (in case you were not the originator of the pattern file).
