View Full Version : 4x8 dashed fill pattern needed

I need a fill pattern that is 4x8 "running bond pattern" that is made of dashed lines.
I have 4"x8" tile that is to be removed, and I want to show it in elevation as dashed (either as a filled region or as a surface pattern). Does anyone have this?
I have created custom patterns in the past (distant past), and I am too time crunched to spend time banging my head against a wall figuring it out. I swear, I knew how to do this once, and now it is like chinese algebra to me.
Thanks in advance,
- Jon

Have you tried using a dashed linestyle for the hatch?

Not possible natively within Revit. He would need a model pattern with each individual line dash in the pattern defined (placement, angle, shift, space, etc).

Jon- What is the typical dash-space spacing that your office uses for demolition Lines?

1/16" dashes & spaces would work, but its not a huge problem if it's not exact.

For those of you following along on this post, get ready for the ultimate climax. I figured it out. Or rather, I used an old lsp routine that figured it out for me.
Attached is a .jpg of the pattern & two versions of the .pat file. they are almost the same, just different spacing on the dashed lines.
These patterns are a ideal for showing CMU, Brick, or Tile as "Demolished" in elevation.
Enjoy

Excellent work. You wouldn't by chance be able to post the old lisp routine?
Thanks!

I'll check with him if i can post it
