MotifGirih hexagon pattern — free hatch (.pat), texture & 3D tiles
Girih hexagon is a ceramic layout built from 1 tile per repeat (sizes 127.1 × 92.3 mm), repeating on the lattice a = (41.5, 57.1) mm, b = (-67.1, 92.3) mm, a cell of 7656 mm². Download it as a CAD hatch, a seamless texture or SVG and DXF lines, count the tiles for your room, or build it as real 3D tiles in SketchUp. All free.

Girih hexagon tile calculator
Enter the room, grout and tile size. The count comes from the same engine that lays the 3D tiles, so the cut tiles are real cuts against your room edges (a 4 × 3 m room is shown first). More patterns: tile calculator.

Questions about Girih hexagon
How many Girih hexagon tiles do I need for a 4 × 3 m room?
With the default tile size and a 3 mm joint, a 4 × 3 m floor needs 1471 full tiles and 189 cut tiles (1660 whole tiles counting each cut tile as one). The net area is 12 m² and the tiles bought cover 12.71 m², so cutting alone wastes 5.9 %. Enter your own room and tile size in the calculator on this page.
Is the Girih hexagon hatch exact?
Yes. The .pat file draws the tile edges exactly: every edge direction of this pattern is parallel to a lattice vector, so a PAT line family reproduces it without approximation. Units are millimetres and the pattern name inside the file is girih-hexagon.
How do I use the .pat file in AutoCAD?
Copy the .pat file into a folder that is in AutoCAD's Support File Search Path (Options > Files), keep the file name (the pattern name inside the file matches it), then pick the pattern in the HATCH command. If Windows blocks the download, right-click the file, open Properties and tick Unblock.
How do I use the .pat file in Revit?
In Revit open Manage > Additional Settings > Fill Patterns, click New, choose Custom and browse to the .pat file. Use the model variant when the pattern must keep its real size on the building.
What is the repeat size of Girih hexagon?
One repeat of the lattice covers 7656 mm² with 1 tile. At 0° this pattern has no rectangular repeat within 80 m, so there is no seamless texture preview; the hatch downloads are unaffected.
