Revit Wall Properties name/tag issue

The properties of my walls have values like "Wall-Ext_35Rsc-50Air-100lns-140Blk-12P" and I can't accurately choose the wall thickness because of this. When I watched youtube videos about Revit, I can see that their properties are different and it shows "Generic - 140mm Masonry" and I want to have those kinds of choices as well.

I don't understand what you are trying to do.  "Wall-Ext_35Rsc-50Air-100lns-140Blk-12P" is a Wall Type NAME only.  It has nothing to do with the actual Wall Properties (e.g. Assembly Layers, Materials, Thicknesses).

Hello Barth. Thank you for your response. I'm trying to create walls with a thickness of 140mm and 300mm but I can't determine which is which because the name of the wall type is written as "Wall-Ext_35Rsc-50Air-100lns-140Blk-12P" and not "Generic - 140mm Masonry" as seen in the picture below. I want to have the same list of options as these as well but I can't seem to find it in my Revit. Hope you could help me locate it.

There are dozens of videos and tutorials on-line that can teach how to create Wall Types.  Google can help you find them.  

 

Here's one:

Oh I thought there is already a pre-set wall type in the software just like the ones I saw in the videos.
Anyhow, thank you so much for your help and the sample video! I appreciate it. Have a good day.
