Hi,
This is simple hatch utility I developed from a previous post (haven't been able to find the original post, but it was a great solution using excel formula's) If anyone can link back to that post that would be helpful.

This does simple Brick/Tile patterns.
It's not a comprehensive hatch creation tool but has been useful for many users here.
Running and Stacked Bond with or without joints.
You need to have a C:\Revit Temp\ Directory - Run the FirstTimeInstall.bat file and open the excel file. You also have to allow macro security.
Hope you find it useful. Cheers

I have Win7 64bit ultimate and I think your program doesn't work for 64bit machines. Is there a way to for me to fix this so that I can use it on a 64bit machine?

It worked fine on my Vista 64 bit... so maybe it´s Win 7 that´s causing problems.

Hmm, that is strange. I wonder if anyone else is having problem with this on Win7.

I didn't plan for Windows 7 :(.
registering the dll might be different on windows 7.
Does everything work except for the preview of the hatch?
I will test this on Windows 7 x64 and try to repost a new zip for Win7 x64.

Well it is the firstimeinstall.bat file that is giving me the main issue. I also use Office 2007 so which seems to work fine with opening the xl file but it crashes on the preview.

Hi Elmo,
Do you have a folder C:\Revit Temp ?
Sorry, you are having trouble.

It works fine in Win7 x64, you just need to copy the files to c:\revit temp

I don't have a default C:\Revit Temp folder. I created it and I have placed the files inside but I am still having the same issue. Maybe I am missing a step?
