BackgroundPatternId Property

The background fill pattern Id.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 24.0.0.0 (24.0.0.0)
Since: 2019

Syntax

C# 
public ElementId BackgroundPatternId { get; set; }
Visual Basic 
Public Property BackgroundPatternId As ElementId
	Get
	Set
Visual C++ 
public:
property ElementId^ BackgroundPatternId {
	ElementId^ get ();

}

Remarks

The FillPattern used for a background pattern must have a 'Drafting' target. This applies to both project and family elements. In addition, when the FilledRegionAttributes element is in a family, the pattern cannot be the solid fill pattern unless the 'IsMasking' property is set to true. InvalidElementId is used when there is no background pattern
