Go to the “insert” Tab on your Ribbon and on the “Import” Panel click on the “Import CAD” Button. Simply create a new Legend inside your Revit Template file and call it “Fill Patterns” or something similar. So make a nice neat ACAD File with a swatch array of all the hatch patterns you utilise. Whenever I’m bringing anything from AutoCAD into Revit I like to make sure it’s as clean and efficient as possible. It’s painful and there’s a much much easier way to achieve what you want. DO NOT try and import the ACAD.pat file for your hatch patterns. Most of you will have probably seen this in Revit and maybe even tried to use it…Ī little Tip for you. James… I’m really struggling to get my AutoCAD Hatch Patterns into Revit.īoth of these of course, are followed by “Please Help”?!? James… I don’t like the Revit Hatch Patterns.
If you knew someone with Vectorworks, you could have them export to CAD, and then import that CAD into Rhino (hopefully it works - best to import into a blank file and not a file that’s dear to you).OK… So 2 common conversations I have with my customers.ġ. PAT files I believe and has many hatches not included with AutoCAD.
There are a few different ways to get a hold of a ‘.PAT’ file, it doesn’t have to be straight from AutoCAD necessarily (small chance I could be wrong here). If it’s complex, you’ll have to dig something up on an internet search. My advice would be that if your hatch pattern is very simple (just lines) you can create it yourself.
It looks super useful… too good to be free… there must be some catch? There’s a website called … but I want to express a caveat that I have never downloaded anything from that site. The attached image shows a couple hatch patterns I made (for Revit actually, hence one for each angle there were ways around that even but I’m risking going off on a tangent here). Creating a custom hatch definition in an AutoCAD. Chiming in more as an AutoCAD expert here.
