OK have some Novatec Hubs with 50mm carbon rims to build up. The hubs, however, look like these:

The rims are 20h/24h with standard/even spoke hole spacing. I can't figure out how to calculate spoke lengths and what pattern to use? It's the holes on the hubs being in pairs and not evenly spaced that's puzzling me?

good luck.
my approach would be to make a 1:1 drawing and measure that.

Ta for the heads up.

THe number of holes in the hub match the rim here though.

The 1:1 drawing sounds like a smart idea. I'll try it. 🙂
