How do I make the brick lines darker

[sully00]

Thin lines does not seem to do the trick see pic what I mean I want to make the brick lines darker so when I zoom out is displays darker.

Thanks

Change view scale. 

...and turn off Thin Lines. 

...BTW: Brick is a MODEL Pattern.

does not seem to work just want to show the brick in detail or what view should I set it at?

[barthbradley]

Brick isn't going to show "detail" when you zoom out really far.  Basically, no difference from the real world. 

[linkboy]

like this?

[sully00]

so how can I show brick in detail when zooming out?

Isn't that the same question I answered above?  

...if you want a consistent surface pattern, use a DRAFTING Pattern.

Revit omits dense pattern on screen when zooming out for performance reason.  If you want to print the view out with pattern then give it a larger scale and increase the PDF output resolution.

when I do zoom to fit the brick never shows see pic.

This pic is what I am trying to replicate 

here is mine 

as you can see when zoom to fit the brick is not clear.

[sully00]

how ?

Crop the view and zoom extent.

[sully00]

No does not work I can only see the bricks when in drafting view not model view for some reason.

Are you using a drafting or model pattern for the surface pattern of the brick material?  Please show the graphic tab of the material definition.

Can you make out all the individual bricks in this photograph?  No, of course, you can't.  But they are there. Thousands of them.

You are using a drafting pattern as shown in your screenshot so it will not present correctly the brick pattern.  

Use a model pattern instead.

When I do Model brick, I zoom out and brick is not clear but when I zoom in closely it is fine see pic.

You realize that, if the pattern showed when zoomed out, it'll just make the drawing black right? That's (one of) the reason(s) they disappear.

You're missing the point that, even though you think you want them, you really don't want those lines showing when zoomed out.
