Solution: Hatch Detail being too low or too high can cause this issue. Some Hatches do not Plot and/or Preview, Display. Each swatch will be a Filled Region.When Plotting files in AutoCAD. As with all things in Revit, selecting an object will invoke the contextual Ribbon giving you the tools you need appropriate to the selected element.Ī Partial explode will be sufficient unless you’ve nested blocks.Īll of the Hatch swatches will now exist inside your Revit File. You can now left click on the Imported CAD File. I always change the Import Units also to ensure they come in at the right size and scale. When importing the file, make sure you import it in Black and White. It’s important to “Import CAD” and NOT “Link CAD” for this exercise. 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.

I’m really struggling to get my AutoCAD Hatch Patterns into Revit.īoth of these of course, are followed by “Please Help”?!? So 2 common conversations I have with my customers.ġ.
