    Default 1/3 bond hatch pattern creation

    I'm a Revit user and I tried this request over in that forum, but was told you guys would probably be more of a help to me...

    I'm fairly illiterate when it comes to creating hatch patterns within the text editor. I'm trying to create a very simple 1/3 bond 8"x24" block (arriscraft) pattern, but I can't figure out how the variables work when changed. I was able to create a running bond pattern, but I can't seem to figure a way to get it to shift over 4". I've tried changing every number variable, but I get some very odd results...so I'm obviously missing something.

    Here's what I have for the running bond...(disregard the ";%TYPE=MODEL"...that's specific to Revit)
    Code:
    *Block 8x24,  8 x 24 blocks running bond
    ;%TYPE=MODEL
    0,             0,             0,             0,             8
    90,            0,             0,             8,             12,             8,             -8
    How do I fix it for 1/3 bond where every other course is in alignment?

    The answer is probably very simple and obvious, so be kind...

    Hi grav8e

    Please note I've *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD General Forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

    Thanks, Mike

    Like I said...it's very simple but I can't seem to get the correct 'formula' in. Best I can do is the standard running bond coursing. BTW - it would also be nice to have a version with mortar joints...for anyone interested in expanding upon this...
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    With the attached ZIP file I'm sure you can now work out the required parameters needed for "mortar joints"...

    Mike, the pattern you posted with the mortar joints makes the block with the joint at 8 1/2" height. How do you fix it so the the height of the block with the mortar joint is just 8"? I tried to modifiy the 8x16 pattern to make a 8x24 pattern but was unsuccessful. Here is what I did.

    *AR-B816C, 8x16 Block elevation stretcher bond with mortar joints
    0, 0,0, 8,8, 15.625,-.375
    0, -8,.375, 8,8, 15.625,-.375
    90, 0,0, 8,8, -8.375,7.625
    90, -0.375,0, 8,8, -8.375,7.625
    *AR-B824C, 8x24 Block elevation stretcher bond with mortar joints
    0, 0,0, 12,8, 23.625,-.375
    0, -8,.375, 12,8, 23.625,-.375
    90, 0,0, 8,12, -8.375,7.625
    90, -0.375,0, 8,12, -8.375,7.625

    Close but can't see where I am off. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

    You were pretty close. One horizontal line origin was misplaced (attached image shows where). Try this.
