I am trying to persuade the architectural firm where I work to change from an old 2D cad program (Microstation 95 w/Project Architect add on) to Revit Architecture. I have been using Revit since R2 and started hand drafting in 1975. I have never seen any CD's as accurate as this firm produces. They detail in great depth and I know that this fact causes them a lot less problems, while they are responsible for not just the drawings but until the building is completely finished as most firms do. Now to the question, I don't think this is possible in Revit yet, but thought it might be a wish list item. I need to be able to show different cut patterns of materials from floor plan view to wall sections to elevation view. We now only have 2 options surface pattern and cut pattern. What I am thinking of is the brick pattern, we show floor plan views as a 45d diagonal line and wall sections as actual brick coursing. Revit now only has 2 choices a variable surface pattern like elevation coursing or a single cut pattern of diagonal lines. How are other firms dealing with this? Is it possible to turn a visibility option off in one view of a material and have it show as another pattern in a different view. We show all brick and block coursing in a wall section is there a work around? I have found out in a floor plan view I can use cut pattern for the brick and a 2d component in the wall for the CMU layout (thats right we draw every CMU) and show where they have to be cut. With Revit in the wall section the brick is 45d diagonal lines and the CMU is 45d lines and -45d lines. We need to have a 3rd option with the patterns of materials, surface, cut horizontal and cut vertical would this option be in the 2009 release?

In your section, you need to draw a repeating detail over top of the brick hatch.

James, I agree with you that there needs to be a difference between Cut Plan and Cut Section. We ran into the same issue with our CMU walls. There is no way to seperate then patterns at this time. We simply use the Repeating detail in section view. I repeats the 2D CMU component up the wall. With this you can align/lock the edge to the edge of the wall so if the wall shifts it will go with it. I am hoping this will be included in the next release. I am sure others have the same problem.
