I would like to create a new poche or edit the current one. I have found the thread before, but I can't find it anymore. Based on the thread, I had to find a text document and change or add the coordinates in series in order to show the continuation of lines (and thicknesses too?).

Based on my bad memory, the file was located somewhere around  C:>ProgramFiles>Autodesk>Revit 2015>.......

If you know the answer to my questions, please reply. If you have more in depth infomation, I would love to take a look at it.

Thank you!!

poche's are called Pattern Files or Hatch Files.  They are simple, non formatted text (txt) files but with the txt extension changed to PAT.  

The initial file loaded with Revit is one file that contains all of the initial patterns.  You do not want to edit this file but you can copy it to remove portions that you may want to edit to create new files.

To understand these files, look at the PDF file I posted in this thread (about 7 posts down):

Look for and study file revit.pat

Unfortunately hatch pattern definitions specify only line position and length and do not specify line thicknesses, linestyle or color.
