Wall Cut patterns - rigid insulation filled region

Good morning all.  I have created two drafting pattern - filled regions that work perfectly for rigid insulation.  I would like to add that pattern inside a wall to have it show when the wall is cut.  It seems to rotate the pattern incorrectly applying either of the filled regions.  Is there a setting to "not rotate" or something to get my cut pattern to show up properly inside the wall?

You can see the two filled regions I have created.  One vertical and one horizontal.  If I add either of those patterns to the cut pattern of the wall it shows as the "wall cut pattern" image on the left.   I would like the one on the left to look like the one on the right.  Is there a way to have the pattern rotate with the wall??  Thanks.

 

Regards Peter.

Edit the pattern type and switch it from orient to view --> align with element

Yes that is the standard Rigid Insulation filled region that was previously in the wall.  I am trying to match CAD details and I managed to created both the horiz and vert filled region for the patterns I want.  This seems like it should have been fixed so many years ago.  Some things just boggle my mind about Revit.  I know the "it's not AutoCAD argument" but this is not that.  It's just plain functionality.  Then people wonder why Revit does not look as good as AutoCAD.

 

I was hoping there was some way of doing this, but maybe not??  Thanks for the input.

 

Regards Peter.

Sorry, I edited my response. You can do it by changing the pattern to orient to view. I just almost never use that so completely forgot for a second.

Awesome.  I changed it to "align with element" and it worked.  I remembered that variable but couldn't remember whether it either works or where it was located.  Thank you.
