![]() I created a 3" x 9" block and Morphed it down in size at 1/75 (1.3%) and it was close to the hatch size bricks that can be printed on your printer. Your new brick pattern should be about twice the size you want so go to the Hatch tab on the side and set Scale to 50% which gets it pretty close. ![]() Then go to the Dash tab, Path 2 of 2, and change the dash values from -14.17 to -6. Set the path at the top of Hatch box to "Path 1 of 2" then select the Paths tab on the side and change the Y-shift from -14.17 to -6 and then change the path to top to "Path 2 of 2" and the Path X Shift from -14.17 to -9 and the Path Y Shift from -14.17 to -6. There are only two line paths in the Brick hatch so this pattern is pretty easy to edit. My description of how I did it quickly is below: The good thing is the minute you start hacking the hatch settings, the hatch is now named Other and you can always start over by reselecting the brick hatch. Select the rectangle, go to the Hatch tool menu and select the stock Brick pattern.Īt this point, you should have a rectangle filled with bricks at the default settings with the Hatches Tool Menu on the screen somewhere. I would take a standard paper size document at 1" = 1" and draw a large rectangle (3" x 9"±). The brick pattern is in a 2:1 aspect ratio so it needs to be adjusted to a 3:1 ratio for your 3" x 9" brick pattern then it needs to modified and scaled down. The easiest way for me would be create a custom brick pattern from the Hatches menu using the stock brick pattern. ![]() A few ways to do this depending on what the desired end result is (add brick color later?). ![]()
