Does anyone know of a Dynamo package to batch add .pat hatch files?
I’ve been cleaning up my firms hatches and I’d like to add them all to our template. I have a bit over 50 of them now and I can add them manually but I thought I’d take the opportunity to learn some dynamo.
Ultimately I’d like to be able to batch load .pat files and then batch create filled region types for each of them. Is this possible with dynamo? Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for the help! That was one of the critical steps I was still working on. Much appreciated.
I’ve done a bunch of research and found some info. An addin called “PyRevit” has a function to do with patterns and has some interesting code on GitHub. There are lots of mentions of creating patterns and using grids to get it done.
I know I can’t directly load a .pat file via the API but somehow the plugin HatchKit can accomplish that task. I’m guessing they are reading the info in the .pat file and then feeding it into the fill pattern api functions which are available?
