@@TheRevitKid Another good one that I use, which may be good to make a video on, is decals, glass graphics, and imperfections (if you care about rendering within Revit, that is).
Excellent trick, Jeff. Thanks. Btw, the aligned pattern seems to only show if the In-Place Component is using the Generic Model Category. It does not work if using, for instance, the Floor category. Thank you, Autodesk. 😀
Revit has UV mapping, just not exposed to the user interface and not accessible through API, so not even with Dynamo. This technique is very appreciated, but for any bi-curved surface there's just no way to do any spherical or cylindrical mapping. It's just weird to have to go to Sketchup, add textures and map and then have to go through Formit and finally back to Revit just to have a circular booth show textures accurately. Thanks again for the video
Hello, I am Indonesian...please.. show me, how to make a beam slope curve under the ramp floor?? I have tried several methods, one of which is making separate beam and floor models and entering the radius... but there is something strange, the cross-section of the beam is slightly twisted at the ends and the position of the beam is not right at the edge of the floor. thank you
I'm having issues getting this to work - it will curve the pattern but it doesn't rotate it at all so that it maps along the sweep curve. Do you know any workarounds/methods to solve this?
@@TheRevitKid For whatever reason it started working in some places and not others but I was able to copy/paste the ones that did work to get around it. Prior to that I was having to manually rotate the pattern/material for it to map along the curve, like it worked but oriented it in the wrong direction. I'm still not sure what the problem is there but it's all good now, thanks for the video!
Amazing, and not acceptable to have such a solution. I am frustrated on how Revit is imposing erroneous geometry to achieve correct graphic. this must be sorted out.
@@TheRevitKid lol nice way of putting it. What is frustrating is that, working in the industry for so long, you see how a lot of the basics of techincal drawing, are not achievable in Revit in a simple or actually correct way. Btw good that someone is looking for possible solutions. Thanks for the time spent on it.
Yes! I don't know how many times I've helped people with "forcing" the direction of patterns!
Nice one.
Yeah!!! It's a crazy workaround to a crazy problem!

Very cool tip Jeff. Thanks for doing these quickie videos.
Cheers Jim! Hope all is well!
I have spent way to much time trying to figure this out. 🤔 Thanks for this simple trick!!
Haha so glad it helped!! Not sure if we should call it a trick or a hack… but it works !
Great tip. and - if you know what to do - so simple. THNX !
Cheers! No problem!
Fantastic, always wonder how to do this. Appreciate very much 👋🏼
Pretty wild, right?!
I need to go 7 years back in time and show this video to myself
Hahah!!! Sorry !!!
Tested! Worked!! Awesome!!!
Haha didn’t believe me!?! 😎🤘
@@TheRevitKid I TrustNo1.
@@rinasahay9523 Fair enough!
thank you very much, helpful as usual
You are welcome! 😬
Thanks a lot! Incredible easy and useful tip!
Glad it was helpful!
This is i always searching on 🙏
Wow that’s awesome
Agreed !! ;)
0:29 "I had a post about this, but I literally couldn't even find it myself" - I felt this comment. 😭
Haha I still can’t find it!!!

You can't win them all ;)
Fab! Thanks for sharing! It is shocking though that on a software that costs 3 grand a year you need to resort to such workarounds....
Yeah…. Jack of all trades, only master of some…
Awesome tip! Does anyone know if it is possible to have cut patterns follow the curvature of e.g. walls?
Haven’t tried but I am assuming not with this technique….
Is this for true ?!?! If so, nice trick. Let's try and check. Great job 👍
It’s true!!
Thnx so much
Cheers!
Thank you
Enjoy. :)

great!
So Revit *does* understand UVs, we just can't control them unless we use a very unintuitive (if clever and appreciated) workaround like this?
I guess so!? I mean it has to have some kind of UVs… we just can’t control them?

Hey ..hi ..is it possible if we have change the geometry or moved without annotations getting removed ??
Not sure what you mean? This is a fill pattern.... So it will update with everything.
I'm having issues getting this to work - it will curve the pattern but it doesn't rotate it at all so that it maps along the sweep curve. Do you know any workarounds/methods to solve this?
I’m not sure what you mean… it’s curving the pattern but not mapping along?

Hi sir good evening ppvc precast mould design could be made revit is possible ?
Sure...? I don't see why not?
This doesn't work for me. The pattern gets twisted in a weird way and not along the curve. Any ideas why?
Is this possible to make in AutoCAD?
Wouldn’t know …. I’m a Revit user 😉
