Does anyone have a.pat file for insulation similar to the 2D insulation component available in Revit? Or if you aren't willing to share the file, maybe share how you achieved it so I can duplicate it?

We have EIFS, which is EPS insulation, which we are using the Hex pattern for. We are also using fiberglass batts, and the usual insulation linetype for that. We are using a metal panel on part of the exterior, which has mineral wool insulation, and I want to use a hatch pattern that is easily differentiated, and that reads like mineral wool.

I seem to be limited to the ****** hatch patterns available and none of them are even close to insulation. I found this but I don't see how this works in a cut view, seems like it would get the result I want in plan but this guy has created an extrusion so in cut I'm just going to see a solid piece like I already see.and that's not what I want. Seems to me I 'should' be able to just set a hatch pattern but I have no idea why OOTB revit doesn't include a freaking insulation hatch pattern and only has a 2D component available.this is like the 15th iteration of Revit and they still haven't included this? Do I create a text file in notepad and save it as a *.pat? Copy and paste the pattern text to Notepad or any other text editor such as PSPad. Trim any leading spaces from each line. Make sure to save it as a.PAT file and not as a.PAT.txt file - which is what Notepad will gleefully give you if you just save with the default.txt file extension that Notepad thinks you need (you don't).

Use Save as type:= All Files (*.*) to supply the.PAT extension, otherwise you won't be able to find it while browsing in Revit. In your Revit project, select Manage>Additional Settings>Fill Patterns (to wake up Fill Pattern manager). Click: • Drafting or Model radio-button (to select either Pattern Type) • New (New Pattern panel appears) • Custom (lower portion changes) • Import (file browser appears, restricted to.PAT files, remember) • Browse to your file and open it • Select the pattern you want to load from the dropdown list • Alter the pattern scale to taste • Alter the pattern name to taste • Click on OK (pattern will be added to the displayed list of patterns) That's it. Redo to load with a different scale or you can use the free Add-In I mentioned earlier to do that inside your project. Hope this helps, Hugh Adamson. Thanks Hugh, I managed to figure out most of this before you replied, but I seem to have hit a roadblock.

It's in inches don't know if this is an issue for importing in a metric project? I can't seem to edit the scale upon importation all the choices to do with scale are greyed out.

And I really WANT to try the hatchkit, among other useful plug-ins also but where I work IT have a stranglehold on everything so I can't just download and try it out I need someone from IT to first approve it and blah blah red tape and it usually takes them a month to actually install something I ask for (I waited 3 months for design review to get installed and its part of the CAD deployment package.). No it's worked as you described - kind of.but I assume discrepancies are down to user error on my side.

It brings a feeling of realism to a video game most games don't have. Parasite Eve is cool in that it's a turned based game, but played in real time, making the action fast paced and seamless. I also love that Parasite Eve takes place in New York city, using real life locations and names for the areas you visit. 'Parasite Eve', here we go! The story begins with Aya Brea, an NYPD rookie, attending an opera at Carnegie Hall with an unnamed date in New York City on Christmas Eve 1997.

The tray with the hole in it that comes out of the computer is for holding a Maccas drink cup right? I actually got this mostly to work, I had to put my import scale way down at 0.01 but its more or less worked with one exception. I've used a component family for insulation, and this has an 'insulation' material applied, which in turn has your hatch pattern applied When I place this element and runs horizontally across the screen (in plan) it works fine. If the element runs vertically up and down the page/screen the hatch does not rotate 90 degrees but rather draws the elliptical line thingo sitting one on top of the other - as opposed to stringing along side by side as they should. I had the same problem appear in section because the piece with a depth of 300mm needs the hatch to turn 90 degrees to hatch how I want but it currently doesn't. Am I missing something or is this just how it is? Maybe I need to use the same hatch turned 90 degrees for section hatch?

Yes, the DRAFTING version is way too huge for 1:1 use but is an example of a random non-Revit pattern sourced from the web somewhere. The MODEL pattern loads nicely. If you want to rescale a pattern outside of Revit then multiply change all numbers in the pattern line definitions (except the first one which is the line angle) by a common factor. Excel's quite handy for this. Revit treats DRAFTING and MODEL patterns very differently. Try using the MODEL version.

Tkinter Programming. Tkinter is the standard GUI library for Python. Python when combined with Tkinter provides a fast and easy way to create GUI applications. Tkinter provides a powerful object-oriented interface to the Tk GUI toolkit. Creating a GUI application using Tkinter is an easy task. •!Tkinter is a Python interface to the Tk graphics library. –!Tk is a graphics library widely used and available everywhere •!Tkinter is included with Python as a library. To use it: –!import * from Tkinter •!or –!from Tkinter import *. Tkinter8.5reference:aGUIfor Python John W. Shipman 2013-12-31 17:59 Abstract Describes the Tkinterwidget set for constructing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in the Python programming language. Includes coverage of the ttk themed widgets. This publication is available in Web form 1 and also as a PDF document 2. Please forward any comments to. Tkinter python 3. In addition to the Tk interface module, Tkinter includes a number of Python modules. The two most important modules are the Tkinter module itself, and a module called Tkconstants. The former automatically imports the latter, so to use Tkinter, all you need to do is to import one module: import Tkinter Or, more often: from Tkinter import * 2 Chapter 2. • Tkinter is Python’s default GUI library. It is based on the Tk toolkit, originally designed for the Tool Command Language (Tcl). Due to Tk’s popularity, it has been ported to a variety of other scripting languages, including Perl (Perl/Tk), Ruby (Ruby/Tk), and Python (Tkinter).
