no model "type" patterns found

[Matthew_sS5]

I recently generated a new hatch in AutoCAD that I will need to use in Revit. As with all the hatches I have created in the past i simply add the line ";%TYPE=MODEL" to the hatch .pat file. Now when I try to bring it into Revit I get the "no model "type" patterns found" warning. It's a pretty basic 4 line hatch. Can someone please look at the attached file and inform me of what I've done wrong?

That's woeful, a generator should provide a loadable fill and Revit could do better than that strictly correct message informing you that it cannot interpret your first two pattern lines.

Either delete the second 48 from each line to make the lines continuous:

*8X40Railroad, 8"X40" Railroad pattern
;%TYPE=MODEL
0, 0,0, 0,48
0, 0,8, 0,48
90, 0,8, 0,8, 40,-8
90, 0,0, 0,40, 8,-40

or add a zero to both, making the lines 48" long butted together to appear contiguous:

*8X40Railroad, 8"X40" Railroad pattern
;%TYPE=MODEL
0, 0,0, 0,48, 48,0
0, 0,8, 0,48, 48,0
90, 0,8, 0,8, 40,-8
90, 0,0, 0,40, 8,-40

The former is IMHO the cleaner fix

Fill pattern structure is described in comments contained at the top of the standard text file revit.pat.

Thank you very much. The first method (deleting the 48 ) I got the same message but once I added the zero it worked.
