FILL PATTERNS

[Bim Man]

I AM TRYING TO LOCATE A FILL PATTERN FOR BATTEN INSULATION. BUT I AM HAVING TROUBLE LOCATING A FAMILY DOWNLOAD PAGE. I WOULD USUALLY HAVE GONE TO RUGI BUT SINCE IT JINED WITH AUGI I AM HAVING NO LUCK. CAN ANYONE LEAD THE WAY FOR ME.

Is the insulation line on the drafting tab not what you are looking for?

[Bim Man]

NO THAT IS THE RIFGID INSUL. PAT. I NEED A PAT THAT RESEMBLES A REPEATING "S" PATTERN.

Do you mean this type of pattern? This is the insulation tool found ion the drafting design bar.

[sfaust]

yes, that's what I was meaning. Sorry, was in a hurry and wasn't too explicit.

Is the stock insulation pattern editable?
I prefer a more open style of pattern like the one I use from Autocad, its not a biggie but if I can adjust it I will.

Thanks,
Kim

It's somewhat editable, but I don't think you'll get exactly what you have shown there. In the properties of the line you can edit the bulge/width ratio and make it larger "swoops" or tighter ones, but as far as I know, that and the width are about all that you can edit.

The insulation tool is really just a Repeating Detail component. You can create your own repeating detail component with a more 'loose' S-curve and call it insulation.

I would like to be able to use that quilt insulation hatch pattern as part of my cavity wall components - instead of the limited patterns available form the fill pattern editor.

If its an acad pattern you can use it in revit. search the help files for importing custom hatches.

THAT WAS IT. CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THAT ONE!!!
