Start by drawing your pattern with lines in Revit, or AutoCAD if you prefer.If you want to know more, there's an blog post going into more details on pattern definitions here. In Revit, a line can also be dashed using several combinations of visible and invisible, but the first version of Naviate Pattern Editor (2018.1.8/2019.1.4) only supports one combination. A dashed line is simply two distances where one is visible (the pen is down) and one is invisible (the pen is up), and then it repeats. They have an angle, a starting coordinate, sometimes a shift but always a distance where they will repeat.Ī line can be continuous, or it can be dashed. You can also preview the changes as well as duplicate, rename and apply the pattern to materials in the Revit project.ĭefining a pattern can be quite a complicated process, but the theory is fairly simple.Ī pattern consists of lines which repeats/offsets themselves with a certain distance. With Pattern Editor you can edit existing patterns and create new patterns without using a pattern definition file. Writing this type of definition file is quite a challenge, since the format is based on the same kind of hatch patterns used in AutoCAD. pat-file) and then import the definition file to a Custom Pattern instead of a Simple Pattern. Simple patterns (equal distance and same angle on all lines) can be edited directly in Revit itself, but more complex patterns require the user to write a custom hatch pattern definition file (a. With Pattern Editor you can directly edit the settings for any Revit hatch pattern.
