    I saw that too, only works if the pattern is in the wall, not in a filter

    Nevermind... The filter rotates the fill pattern the wrong direction.... I don't know how to fix it. Here is the funny thing... If I apply the 1-hour to the stud wall instead of the Diaganal pattern, the 1-hour comes out the way it should.

    I dont think it's the file, I just tried with the default 08 template and have the same results, there is a bug that causes fill patterns to not align with elements with a filter in medium and fine, works in coarse though. I even got his file to work, change the fill pattern to align with element, set to coarse...doesn't look like it worked, but try creating a new wall and it does.

    It's good to see I'm not the only one. I think I'll send a support request. I think I can make it work with the coarse view detail.

    What about where the rating is actually between the studs of two tenant separation walls.

    I.E. UL Detail 341? We typically run a thick line with a pattern between the studs.

    Any suggestions?

    We have been using thick lines, but since they are detail lines, then we cannot scale them.

    Thanks!

    It would make since to me that sonce we can create line styles, that one should be able to assign that linestyle to an interior wall definition for the fire taping. The problem is that functions are there, but can't be asssigned the way we need them to be.

    We should simply get the Appearance tab for Cut Pattern to allow the option for line style to use.

    Question Re: Graphic solution at fire rated walls.

    Ok so i've been using the tape method and created new custom patterns that work excellent in Revit 2008. However when i export that drawing to AutoCAD 2008 my patterns go crazy. The horizontal ones work well when they show up. I say when the show up because some of them dont. The vertical ones show as a single line pattern, and if you put them on an angle they show up but are not correct because the spacings are thrown off between the lines. I even tried to download the patterns that were posted on here and they do the same thing. Any one have any ideas to what would cause this.
