Patterns

Hatch patterns and material swatches that fill plan, section and elevation areas: brick bonds, stone, timber, concrete, terrazzo, rammed earth, tiles, roofing and flooring. Most products are Adobe Illustrator pattern swatches that load straight into the Swatches panel.

• Illustrator swatch packs by material, plus a mega pack of 125 patterns
• Hand-drawn and sketchy pattern sets for illustrated drawings
• Revit fill patterns with 103 model and drafting hatches
• JPEG texture packs of 100 and 300 images

A pattern is a drawing convention, not decoration. It tells the reader what a material is, and it works only when scaled to the drawing: the same stone swatch at 1:200 and 1:20 gives two different joint sizes.
