Unfortunately with component families, there seems to be no way to adjust material positioning in the project environment. This is a very subtle, but important fact as you’ll see shortly. To achieve this, you have to be in in-place edit mode. When it comes to in-place families, Revit doesn’t allow you to directly control surface pattern positioning. You might be mostly familiar with doing this on ACT ceilings, where you control the position and orientation of the grid by fine-tuning the surface pattern positioning. In fact, we use it all the time for tile-work in interior elevations (filled regions are a bad idea for this purpose as you cannot control the fill position/orientation, so painting the wall with a material and fine-tuning the joint locations represented by the surface pattern, is a much better solution). Even the align tool works like a charm in cases like this. You can tab and pick one of the lines and nudge/move/rotate as desired. So let’s take a wall with a surface pattern for example. With system and in-place families, this is very easy to achieve, the latter being a little more tricky. When materials with surface patterns are used, there is a good chance that you need to tweak its position, and perhaps even rotate it to some degree.
