I need to be able to adjust the pattern origin location so the hatching is say evenly spaced within the element or region, not just randomly located. In AutoCAD you simply relocate the SNAPBASE point or in new releases use the Origin adjust button in the Hatch dialog box. There's a way to do this in MicroStation too, though I've forgotten how.

Using the Batting Linetype to draw insulation SolentBird. Unsubscribe from SolentBird? AutoCAD: Creating annotative dimensions and multileaders. I've been using the insulation annotation built into Revit and just noting it as spray foam but today it became an issue when a contractor didn't see the note. Sheets shots would be great, thanks!

Doesn't seem to be a way to do this in Revit. It is important only from need to create an 'aesthetically pleasing' set of contract documents.

But a set of drawings that look like, well I won't say, doesn't help me sell the product.

Yes, you can do that with the Hatch pattern. If you mean you want a single row of that pattern, such as to show insulation in a wall, you can do it with some care about the boundary, scale and origin, and of course the rotation angle when the wall direction isn't horizontal.

I couldn’t find a guide on this anywhere here, sorry if I wasn’t looking hard enough. This is simply an informational tutorial about the process involved in the creation of crack. This substance can and will ruin lives. I also am not sure if I am going to be violating any rules with this but I don’t see why so here you go. Please Note: I do not condone smoking crack or abusing cocaine and its subsidiaries.

That pattern is defined at 100 drawing units 'high' per row of squiggles, so use a scale of the thickness divided by 100. If, on the other hand, you actually want a squiggly Polyline end result, rather than a Hatch pattern or via AutoCAD's Batting linetype, there are a variety of routines that will do that. My favorite is my own InsulBattPoly.lsp, available. Be sure to look at the image in my first comment there -- it's pretty juicy, and even works along curved paths. If you Search further for 'insulation' just on that Cadalyst CAD Tips website, there are several other routines for Polyline results [as well as for other Hatch patterns]. I went through checking them out a while back, and added comments at their individual pages about things like whether the loops touch [as in my routine and the Batting linetype] or not [as in the above Hatch pattern], what kind of input you have to give it, some drawbacks to a few of them, etc., etc.
