TiffanyH512 1 Posted November 27, 2018 Does anyone know how to make a custom vector pattern for a tile in wall elevation view? I am doing a master bath shower elevation drawing, and no pattern matches what the random linear tile actually looks looks like. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidJPotter 146 Posted November 28, 2018 I have posted a link to articles that address custom pattern files .pat here: https://www.google.com/search?q=custom+vector+pattern+files+(.pat)&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS818US818&oq=custom+vector+pattern+files+(.pat)&aqs=chrome..69i57.14596j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 You can import already existing .pat files by simply copy-pasting .pat files in your "pattern" file located in C:/My Documents/Home Designer Pro 2019/Patterns file folder to make the additions accessible to the program by way of the "Define Material" dialog-Pattern Tab. I do this from time to time in Chief Architect Premier. I have not done this in Home Designer Pro but I assume it is possible. I have even, some years ago, written my own custom .pat file just to see if I could create one (not my cup of tea but I did create one). I opted to simply searching the web for available .pat files, downloading those and using them. You are free to do whatever you like. DJP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
