Is it possible to create a view template where the cut pattern of structural walls is shaded differently than other (non-structural) walls?  In Visibility/Graphic overrides, there doesn't seem to be any way to distinguish between structural/non-structural walls...just walls as a whole.

I know I can do overrides by elements, but that will take a long time given all of the different walls and drawings I have and I would like to create a usable template so that I can have hatched structural walls and all others as just white.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

You could set up your wall types accordingly.  Structural walls would have coarse fill pattern.

I'm not sure I follow 100%.  Is it possible to have a view template that makes all walls poche solid black, but then one type of wall that overrides this with a different fill pattern?

Reread my post.  I talked about wall type settings & coarse fill pattern.
