Straight Pattern Generator

Comprehensive pattern generation tool with 5 geometric types (Hexagonal, Rectangle, Circle, Triangle, Voronoi) and advanced configuration options.

Straight Pattern Generator Full Tutorial

Comprehensive tutorial showing all 5 pattern types and advanced configuration options.

Project Overview

Straight Pattern Generator is a professional Revit add-in plugin that provides comprehensive pattern generation capabilities for architectural surfaces. Built with C# and .NET 8.0, this tool offers 9 different geometric pattern types with advanced configuration options and real-time preview capabilities.

The plugin integrates seamlessly with Revit's ribbon interface and provides powerful automation capabilities for pattern generation. It features material integration, fade effects, randomization options, and real-time preview to enhance the design process.

Key Features

  • 9 Pattern Types: Comprehensive geometric pattern library
  • Real-time Preview: Visual pattern preview before generation
  • Material Integration: Automatic material assignment
  • Fade Effects: Multiple fade origins (Center, Corners)
  • Randomization: Random arrangement and thickness variations
  • Advanced Configuration: Scale, spacing, thickness controls

Technical Implementation

  • C# .NET 8.0: Modern development framework
  • Revit API Integration: Deep integration with Revit 2025 API
  • WPF Interface: Professional Windows Presentation Foundation UI
  • Pattern Generation: Advanced geometric pattern algorithms
  • Material Integration: Automatic material assignment system
  • Real-time Preview: Live pattern preview capabilities

Pattern Types

Hexagonal

Regular hexagonal tessellation patterns for geometric precision

Rectangle

Rectangular grid patterns with customizable spacing

Circle
