Took a bunch of typical details from autocad and exploded them in Revit. However the hatches made themselves individual filled region and pattern types. Now I have a ton of earth hatch patterns and so on. Any smart ways in dynamo so it recognizes the pattern and changes it to one type? I used dynam…

What’s a Derain? I’ll try into a family tomorrow but I assume Revit won’t register similar autocad hatches together

It won’t, but you can manage them in the context of your hatch library (assuming you’ve put that into your detail family template) and then purge unused to make the bad things go away. I have no idea what a Derain is, was trying to type detail quickly on my phone and somehow that came out… …

I put it into a scrap project to clean before the masterfile. Also tried to clean as many layers and lines to standard in autocad. This pattern and filled region things a bummer tho

[image] vanman: This pattern and filled region things a bummer tho Management of content always sucks when you attempt it via ‘import and walk away’. Any time you attempt to integrate data from an external source you need to sanitize and format it before you start production. This is just one…

I wonder. Since most of them are model patterns. If I can extract the geometry to dynamo after placed. Overlay it on each other and use the node that shows the difference intersection (never remember them off the top of my head) . If none its the same… Although might have to give the line work solid…

Anyone know if I can extract model pattern lines from a filled region? [image]

Yes - you can retrieve references to them which can eventually be converted to geoemtry… I do t recommend it though as it’s quite slow and time consuming.

do you know how to get the references? Maybe I can just use that to see if its the same as others. I can only see this node though for model elements. [image]

I have only accessed via API calls in Python. And it’s a slog. C# would be better if you’re up for it. The Genius Loci code shows some of how to start going about it, but again, it’s more than just that.

Is there something quick to call. Even like the pattern layout I can equal against to see if it’s the same? :thinking: Been looking at Locis node but it’s tricky :sweat_smile:
