I want to add some pecific pattern, can I draw a pattern in CADand then load it into the project. also I need to know the scale of the patter. see my picture17

Because I need to draw elevation details and to show how the bricks or  stone materils arrange on the elevation. see the arrange of the briks in cad picture18

There are lots of threads about this same question in Forum, search for "Hatch patterns" and you will see lots of them.

Here you have one example: http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=21478

Now if you look at the bottom of that link you will see similar threads, just search and read, you must learn how to use this site.

I have read the site and help files. and I know where to chagne the pattern. but when I load my own patterns, see picture27, the revit jump out the problem see picture24. I want to make a metric pattern see picture25, and I modeled on the the pat files which I found on net. it is my pat files . can you tell me how to edit the pattern files, thank you!

this is my patterns

There are two kinds of "Pattern Types" - "Model" and "Drafting" do you know the difference between the two? look at my first image (directly from your HELP menu)

Look at your "Image 24" ---> "No Drafting type  patterns found", now look what you post:

"this is my patterns

;%VERSION=3.0

;%UNITS=MM

*VHUGOMG,Revitcity

;%TYPE=MODEL

0,             0,             0,             0,             60090,            0,             0,             750,             750,            600,             -600"

Can you see the difference??? Yes? No? well, this is the difference ";%TYPE=MODEL", you are trying to create a "DRAFTING" pattern with a "MODEL" patter, you need to change that "Model to Drafting".

How can you edit that pattern to change that? I told you before "...just search and read, you must learn how to use this site"....

Just open that PAT file with a "notepad", change that and save, that's it, AGAIN, look at my second image.... Your HELP menu is your BEST TUTORIAL.

You need make one small change:

;%VERSION=3.0

;%UNITS=MM

*VHUGOMG,Revitcity

;%TYPE=MODEL

0,             0,             0,             0,             600

90,            0,             0,             600,             750,            600,             -600
