Hi,

I'm trying to indicate polished blockwork which courses at 275mm.  I have made up a materail with a surface pattern using a fill pattern with what i thought was the correct distances apart.  However, this worked on my elevations at 1:100 but not a section at 1:50.  Is it possible to create a fill pattern which will stay constant no matter what the scale is?

cheers

marc

sounds like you have used a drafting pattern instead of a model pattern. I don't know many that use the drafting pattern, though there is uses for it. If you can't find a similar model pattern, you can edit the hatch file to make it a model pattern. Check your help file for that, it's pretty simple.

cool, that work a treat.

Just 1 more question! 

How does revit determine the setting out point of these materials? Is there a way to use like a snap base point?

thanks for your help

I'm not sure what you mean by setting out point. If you are trying to position your hatch a certain way, you can use the align tool for your hatch lines. Click "align" then position it over one of your hatch lines and if it doesn't highlight, hit tab a time or maybe two and it will highlight.
