Where is insulation pattern in revit ?

Insulation looks like that:

Revit has bat insulation tool , but not pattern.

I understand maybe it's a limitation of pattern , because pattern can't follow walls but maybe it is possible to make insulation with revit tool that will extend with wall ? to avoid changing insulation every time when plan changes.

You can align and lock the insulation batting to the end of walls if required.

Hi , thanks for feedback.

how to do that in that layer spaces ?  like on that image 

Will it work with wrapping ?

I tried align even on walls without wrapping but didn't work , wall is extending insulation stays same length..

In the image, I have locked the insulation to the wall centrelines and the ends of the insulation line to each other.  The insulation line moves and stretches when I move the walls.Insulation.JPG

Ok , I have not noticed point at the end of an insulation , now it works.

but it's not going to work at wraps unfortunately.

knowing that majority of walls need insulation it's little bit overcomplicated for something that is frequently used by architects when working with walls.

Thanks a lot!

I would agree.  For this  reason, we include a pattern in our walls for insulation, similar to your image.  I hardly ever use the insulation batting, except perhaps in drafting views or details.

Rigid insulation is cross rectangle hatch, mostly done with outside facades and it's ok.

batt insulation is used as general representation of almost all insulations, I was using that lines to show interior noise/sound insulation also .

Who will make insulation tools easier ?)

I would post it on Idea section for vote , but I doubt many will vote (not because it's not correct but because they don't care about it now). Unfair ))  anyway, hope will be improved .. 

thanks!
