Could a running bond pattern (like brick) be create with a curtain wall driven by the module of the block height and width dimensions? I'm using Revit 2009.How would you do that with a curtain panel? Would hiding the offset row exterior edges work? I haven't found on the web a pattern that is other than a stacked pattern, no matter what it's geometric shape is.Thanks

Wow ... why?

 

What are you trying to do?  Just use a material.

WWHub,

 A material is limited to a tile-able (square) image and bumpmap. The pattern can be running bond pattern provided it's height and width form an overall square swatch. I don't have a pattern that forms an overall square.

I need a pattern that is 2' high by 2'8" wide and can be controled when it wraps a corner. Think large stone veneer cladding. It also must be able to follow a radius wall.

 

Thanks,

The pattern doesn't have to be a square, just the image.  Check out the standard brick, I think the image file is something like 3'4" but it doesn't matter.  I believe all materials are draped over the form... that means they will go around curves.  You can change the scene on the render appearance tab to see how it looks on different forms.
