Leveraging support for imported AutoCAD hatches

- [Instructor] No you haven't tuned into the wrong tip series this week. I am talking about Revit, but yes, this is AutoCAD. What I want you to see here is just some AutoCAD hatch patterns in a file that I've put together really quickly here so that I can talk to you about the support of these more complex hatch patterns in Revit 2019.1. So you may be aware that Revit 2019 added support for double hatches where you could have a background pattern and a foreground pattern. Now if you bring over CAD files that have a similar type of hatch, those will be fully supported within Revit. So to just to kind of show you here, I'll select one of these, there's a fill pattern here on top but it's using a background color right here. So let's see what happens if we import this DWG file into a Revit project. So let me switch over to Revit. I'll create a new project and I'll just use my standard architectural template. You can create a project from any template you like, it doesn't really matter…
