Is there a way to have a given material display different surface patterns in different views?  I am creating elevation diagrams, in which I want to assign a hatch pattern to my solid materials. I assigned a hatched surface pattern to the material, but this seems to assign the surface pattern globally, and it shows up on all my other elevations (not just the diagrams). Any help would be appreciated.

Don't actually change the material just override the pattern in the view.

 If I use visibility override by category, then the other objects in the category would be affected (which I don't want). Over-riding by element would be very time consuming. I was hoping there would be a way to assign a surface pattern to the material and then somehow use a view setting to change the material's surface pattern, only in that given view.

"Over-riding by element would be very time consuming"  What are you trying to override?  Just click on it, right click and select all instances.
