Rotating Filled Region pattern 45 degrees.

[-OTTP-Brembo]

Is it possible to rotate the filled region hatch pattern 45 degrees without having to edit the Revit.pat file?

Eg. I would like to rotate the Earth filled region style 45 degrees.

Only Model Hatch patterns can be rotated. Rest the mouse over the pattern/tab/select and rotate. To make a Draughting pat a Model pat edit in notepad and add
" ;%TYPE=MODEL" after the hatch pat name.

Something to keep in mind, the Section Cut material used when a topo surface is cut can only be set to a drafting fill pattern.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone come across a hatch pattern displaying earth at 45°?

I'm trying to figure out why or where that would be necessary...

Just personal preference on the rotated 45 degree Earth hatch pattern.

I have even tried to import an Autocad earth pattern that had been rotated, but that still came in all funny.

I created my own rotated hatch pattern for earth. Will upload if i get a chance.

Flat out here...

Try these earth patterns. the scale is small. Model and Draughting supplied

I always mix em up, but I know that each earth pattern's rotation means something specific.

I think it goes sumpin' like this?

45 degrees = disturbed soil
90 degrees = un-disturbed soil or compacted soil.

Wrong?...it's late, educate me...;)

45 degrees = disturbed soil
90 degrees = un-disturbed soil or compacted soil.

Thanks Steve, it'd be nice to say my motive was that purposeful but alas, it's just user preference...I guess it goes back to manual drafting days.

Hey Steve,

I am smiling! Nothing wrong with that.
Hope all is well with you.

Zeds,

Thanks for the 45 degree earth pattern - all our earth pattern have always been so from the days of hand drafting (or draughting as it was called then)

There is a 45deg earth hatch pattern on Revit City called Earth_Pattern_45_Degrees_201.

You will need to scale it to suit the Aussie Standard's depiction of an Earth Hatch - assuming that is your end aim.
