Custom Vector Pattern

[TiffanyH512]

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!

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.
