Revit needs some serious help with hatch patterns.. Why cant you define a hatch orientation like you can in Autocad?? I have a custom wood hatch pattern I use to define plywood in a plan view but I cant use it unless the plywood is spanning horizontal on the sheet. I would have to completely rewrite the hatch to make it go 90 degrees to horizontal and then again for something 30 or 45 degrees from horizontal... All my buildings are not square and the plywood does not always span from right to left. For metal deck I have to define a new hatch pattern for every angle I want the lines displayed at... at least it can be done compared to what I would have to go through for my plywood hatch, but completely stupid when you should be able to just simply tell it what angle you want the hatch and be done with it!

Just in case you don't know. For MODEL patterns you can tab select the lines and rotate the pattern as required.

Hmmm have not even worked on the model at all yet, other than cutting sections, I am just doing the drafting work to drafting views and adding notes, detail cuts etc. to planwork to create construction documents. The stuctural engineer has been doing everything in the model itself... to this point, Can I use a model hatch in a drafting view?
My work around is to go to Autocad create a block of what I need with hatch exploded, import it into Revit as a cad drawing with simple lines... just seems like an assanine procedure.
I guess that is why I put it in the wishlist section hoping revit developers are paying attention...
Thanks for your input though!

Filled Regions can use Model Patterns also. Doing what your doing with the ACAD imports you will find that your file size is very quickly going to blow out and the model will really bog down.
Of course you use a model hatch in a drafting view. The only difference between a model pattern and a drafting pattern is the way they scale.
Model is a real world scale.
Drafting is a print scale. Always prints at the exact same dimensions regardless of the scale of the view.
Model patterns and drafting patterns can be easily be swapped by editing the pat file and adding or changing one simple line. Refer to my blog FAQ for more info.
