Filter by Lables. Message 1 of Does anyone have a routine that will draw a insulation hatch around a circle? Message 2 of Why not just use the batting linetype? Message 3 of I had it. Please send me a dwg where you plan to use it.

Message 4 of I would appreciate if you could send a lisp routine which will draw batt insulation on curves. Linetype has limitations: when change ltscale batt insulation linetype width change. Thanks johny. Message 5 of It has the added advantage that it's defined in such a way that you merely divide the thickness you want by the reality-to-drawing ratio; with their BATTING, because of the arbitrary way it's defined, you have to multiply the thickness you want by 5 and divide by that ratio.

Any Linetype-based approach is going to have that "limitation" in relation to Linetype Scale, because of the way Shapes are used in Linetypes. But any other approach is going to have more severe limitations, in my opinion. There was a thread about something very similar, maybe several months but probably less than a year ago, looking at generating a polyline version with the looping built in, and a Continuous Linetype.

I don't remember whether someone came up with a way to do it, but I wouldn't be likely to use something like that. If you ever needed to change the shape of the curve, or straighten a curve within a Polyline, or Lengthen an end, or you decide you want a different thickness of insulation, you'd have to give up on the original and generate the whole thing all over again.

A Linetype approach takes care of all of that for you. Message 6 of Try using the attached dynamic block. It's made at a height value of 1 so the scale can be adjusted to suit the height of insulation required. This is by fay the best way of drawing insulation I have come across. Cheers, Steve. Message 7 of Message 8 of Who said it did support curved lines? It does however support repetition of a shape which is how this block works.

Maybe it would be better to look properly at what is being suggested before commenting. 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.

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. 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. The scale you choose is applied to the viewport.

Sets the name of the current annotation scale for the current space. Type: String. Saved in: Drawing. If the hatch pattern is set very dense by mistake, it can mean AutoCAD has to generate hunderds of lines, and this can be very slow as well.
