MATERIALHAUS / HATCH PATTERNS
Free Revit and AutoCAD hatch patterns (.PAT)
Brick, paver, tile and floorboard patterns at real size. Each comes as Revit model and drafting patterns and as AutoCAD files in millimetres and inches, with the size in the file name. No account needed.

- On the ribbon,
Manage › Additional Settings › Fill Patterns. - Under Pattern Type pick the file’s kind: Model for a model pattern, Drafting for a drafting pattern.
New fill pattern › Custom › Import…, choose the .pat file and the pattern in its list; keep the import scale at 1.00.- Use it as a material’s surface or cut pattern, or in a filled region type.
Load it in AutoCAD
- Save the .pat file in a folder listed under
OPTIONS › Files › Support File Search Path. - Start HATCH; the pattern appears in the pattern list under its own name.
- Keep the file name: AutoCAD finds the pattern by it.
Model or drafting pattern?
A model pattern is real size: a 215 mm brick is 215 mm in the file and grows and shrinks with the model as the view scale changes. A drafting pattern is paper size and stays the same on the sheet at every scale, so the view scale it was drawn for is in its file name. Use the model pattern for a material’s real surface and the drafting pattern for a symbolic fill in section.
Questions
Are these patterns free?
Yes. They download without an account and may be used in your projects, commercial work included.
I need a size that is not listed
The “Make it at your size” button on a pattern page opens the editor with that pattern. Change the module, joint and bond, choose “Create and save”, and the Revit model and drafting patterns are made with the material.
How were the files made?
From the geometry that draws MATERIALHAUS textures, by one .PAT compiler. Each edge becomes a periodic family of lines, so the hatch meets the texture at the same joint. The files pass automated tests; if one misbehaves in your Revit or AutoCAD version, tell us.
