    Editing wall material to concrete in plan view

    In floor plan view how do I make a wall have a concrete texture inside instead of the default (criss cross)?

    Under Wall Properties, Edit>Structure>Materials--change to Concrete for the Cut Pattern.

     

    The "criss-cross" pattern is typically for Concrete Masonry Units ( block), so you should really use a different Wall Type

    and name it Cast In-Place Concrete, then specify the correct Material and Fill Pattern.

    Thank you. I have made a new wall how you said, changing the material to cast-in place concrete instead of concrete blocks and on the preview for the wall it is perfect but when I draw the line on the floor plan it still has a criss-cross pattern. I have attached a picture where you can see how the wall looks in the properties preview and on the floor plan it  is highlighted.

    Thank you,

    In Wall Properties, check if there is a Coarse Scale Fill Pattern.

     

    Then in your view, set the Detail Level to Medium or Fine.

     

    Does it now have the Concrete Fill Pattern?

    I set the wall to no pattern and then to concrete pattern and they both still have the criss-cross. It seems like the criss-cross is a default and the only way to change it is to override each individual wall.

    Check if the Material is set to "Default Wall"

     

    Go to Manage>Materials then look at Cut Pattern.

     

    See if your wall's Material is really using Default Wall Material--or recheck the Coarse Fill setting under wall properties.

    I went into the materials and the cut pattern is set to concrete. I'm not sure how to check if it is set to default wall. I have attached an image with the walls I am trying to edit just left of the browser.

    Hello everyone, I wanted to know how do I configure my Revit Architecture 2013 software so it can save files in previous versions (2012, 2011, 2010)
