In Revit:
How do I find or edit the Earth Pattern to be at 45 degree angle or diagonal?

I've tried to edit the .pat file with no success.

Has anyone done this? Do you have the .pat file to send to me?

Can I use autocad patterns?

I'm also looking for the bedrock hatch pattern for Revit.

To bring you your AutoCAD patterns.....

Solution - To bring other custom patterns from a pattern file into the template or a project, set the pattern file into a folder accessible to users. From either a Revit template of project create a new fill pattern by Selecting Settings>Fill Pattern in the template of project.

Select either pattern type for drafting for section or drafting views or Model for applying to the model components.

Select New button to get another dialog box and select Custom, enter a name for the new pattern and then click import. (Pattern name will import from the Pat file and fill in the name field, Add a prefix for your companies specific patterns.

Perform the above step for each of your required specific pattern to add into the project or default template.

Let me know if I missed anything.

You will find one of those at RevitCity.

Could I suggest, further on down the track, you make as an end goal the ability to make your own fill patterns? The user manual has a fairly good description.

As an interim, RevitCity has a lot of patterns to get you started.

You could also make it a model pattern, and you would then have the ability to rotate the pattern once its in place.

I made a custom model pattern but still couldn't find the option to rotate it.
Am I missing something?

TIA
