3D Pattern
The ideal add-on for presenting models, perspectives and rendered views. Apply patterns directly in space — facades, fair-faced masonry, roof tiles, stone walls, floor and ceiling structures, bathroom walls and much more. Create surface structures on your 3D models quickly and easily.

Surface structures on 3D models
Tools for creating, editing and evaluating patterns directly in 3D space.
Patterns in free space
Applying patterns directly to 3D objects and surfaces in space.
Pattern on a surface
Creating a pattern directly on a selected surface of the model.
Cut-outs in a pattern
Adding and deleting cut-outs (openings) within a pattern.
Pattern lines
Creating pattern lines, including lines along the edge of an element.
BRep elements
Solid BRep elements and linear placement of patterns.
IFC export with BIM attributes
Export to IFC with attached BIM attributes and property transfer.
Editing and evaluation
Subsequent editing and evaluation of a pattern — total areas, lengths and schedules.
Croatian interface
The add-on is also available in Croatian, alongside several other languages.
What it is for
For presenting and visualising models with realistic surface structures.
