That looks like a pattern derived from Shake 6", Wood Shakes which is a ;%TYPE=MODEL pattern contained in the standard file Revit.pat (a text file). Model patterns can normally be rotated by methods described in other threads in this forum. The curved extrusion may prevent it being amenable to such action. Have you tried backtracking to just before the extrusion and rotating the pattern before extruding? This could be your most direct fix. Otherwise it's fairly simple in this case to create a rotated version as the pattern contains only vertical and horizontal lines. Edit a copy of the original pattern from Revit.pat by adding 180 to the first value and change the sign of the second and third value of each line. You should wind up with this: *Shake 6" rotated, Wood shakes rotated ;%TYPE=MODEL 180, -0, -0, 12.75, 6, 3, -2.5, 3.5, -1.5, 4.5, -2 180, -3, -0.25, 12.75, 6, 2.5, -9.5, 2, -3 180, -9, 0.375, 12.75, 6, 1.5, -15.5 -90, -0, -0, 6, 4.25, 5.75, -18.25 -90, -3, -0, 6, 4.25, 5.625, -18.375 -90, -5.5, -0, 6, 4.25, 5.25, -18.75 -90, -9, 0.375, 6, 4.25, 5.75, -18.25 -90, -10.5, 0.375, 6, 4.25, 5.75, -18.25 -90, -15, -0, 6, 4.25, 5.5, -18.5 Save as a text file with file extension .PAT then load from there into Revit with a suitable name via Settings>Fill Patterns ... BTW the rotation control in HatchKit is far faster at this than Notepad is  Hugh Adamson www.hatchkit.com.au
