A question I get asked about a lot (and I’m sure you have probably asked this yourself!) is how do I make my own Revit hatch patterns?! Revit comes with a bunch of great out-of-the-box patterns, but every company has there own particular ‘look’ where custom hatch patterns are needed. This is especially true if you are coming from AutoCAD and you want your documentation to be consistent. Creating your own custom Revit hatch patterns is actually quite easy if you follow the steps outlined in this blog post. Creating fill patterns in Revit To create a new fill pattern, go to the Manage Tab, click on ‘Additional Settings’ and on the drop down click on Fill Patterns. This will bring up the Fill Patterns dialog box which shows you all the fill patterns available.

Jan 5, 2018 - All our free hatching files are fully compatible with AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT in addition the PAT files are also compatible as Autodesk Revit. Acad.pat file not found when selecting the Settings option for Hatch.

To the right, click New to create a new pattern. Here you can create a simple line pattern, basically a bunch of repeating parallel or intersecting lines (pretty boring stuff!).

I’m guessing this is probably not the kind of hatch pattern you wanted to create! So click on Custom and click on Import. Here you can import any.pat file – those of you who are familiar with AutoCAD will know that the hatch patterns in Autocad are.pat files. So if you have a hatch pattern that you like in AutoCAD then you can easily import it into Revit via this method. There are actually a whole bunch of.pat files you can download for FREE ( for example) so if you’re after something in particular you can search the net, download then import into Revit. However, if you really really want to make a custom hatch pattern, here is the easiest way I have found: Creating custom.pat files If you ever open a.pat file in a text editor you will see they are full of numbers like this: 0, 0,0, 0,2,.5,–1 90, 0,0, 0,1.5,.5,–.25,0,–.25.5,–.5 90,.5,0, 0,1.5,.5,–.25,0,–.25.5,–.5 0, 0,1.5, 0,2,.5,–1 These numbers basically describe each line in a patterns length, origin, angle etc and in my opinion is way to time consuming to try and create yourself! (Although you can certainly give it a go if you want).

Here’s the easiest way I have found to create.pat files myself: Download this LISP routine below: ( I created it via ). Open AutoCAD, type APPLOAD Navigate to the Lisp file you just downloaded, click ‘Load’ then Close. Type DRAWHATCH Follow the prompts and draw Lines (not polylines or circles etc.) within the box that was created. When you are done, type SAVEHATCH Follow the prompts and select the lines you just drew in (not the border lines).

Give it a description and save somewhere sensible. Now go into Revit and import the.pat file you just created. Custom hatch/fill pattern to use in Revit How easy was that! This is the quickest way I have found to create true custom Revit Hatch Patterns. Hopefully this post has helped you learn how to do it.

Generally you can export a drawing with its fonts, texture, materials, references, data links etc using e-transmit but unfortunately, it can’t export custom hatch pattern file (PAT) with the package and you have to add it in the package separately. But if you did not receive a drawing with PAT file then you can export it from drawing as well using the method shown below. Exporting hatch pattern Let’s assume that you have a drawing with custom hatch applied in it with name ZIGZAG. In order to export that hatch, you need to create its PAT file. I am using a LISP routine in this tutorial to extract PAT file from drawing.

Download the LISP routine Extract it from the compressed package and paste it on the desktop. Also, make sure that your source drawing is copied to the desktop from which you want to extract hatch pattern. Now open the drawing from your desktop and drag and drop lisp routine to the drawing as shown in the image below.

Now type GETPAT on the command line and click on ZIGZAG pattern present in drawing. This pattern will be exported as ZIGZAG.PAT on the desktop. For some cases the file is exported to C: Users [user name] Documents so if you are unable to find it on the desktop then look it there. Importing hatch in your AutoCAD Now you have this hatch pattern all you need to do is import it to your AutoCAD software, for this copy ZIGZAG.PAT file and paste it to support folder of the installation directory.
