All of our filled regions that used to be SHEATHING have magically changed to SIDING. This includes all separate details and wall sections with multiple instances in each. It may be a coincidence, but the 2 different “materials” are sequential in the alphabetical list of material options. Now the SHEATHING material is no longer in the list and I suspect the filled regions assumed the properties of the next material in the list – SIDING. Has anyone else had this happen? Could it have been done during a PURGE routine? I didn’t think we could purge anything that had a physical presence in the file. Maybe another user deleted the material??? Anyone have any magical tricks that would perform a global fix? I thought about renaming the SIDING material to SHEATHING and just changing the pattern, but that would also change the filled regions that should be SIDING too. Although I suspect there are less instances of SIDING than there are supposed to be of SHEATHING. I hate to think I will have to go through every single view in the file and change them one by one. Anyone have a trained monkey they can loan me???

I'd imagine someone must have deleted the pattern... As revit isn't psychic (yet...) it's not going to know which fills should be siding and which should be sheathing as such you'd have to go through one by one. If you find it easier to change them all to siding and then swap the sheathing ones back individually you can do so by right clicking one of the instances of sheathing and choose select all instances then change its type in the drop down menu. HTH.
