Lock Wall Cut Pattern Orientation

[Wish List System]

Summary: Allow walls to have the option to lock cut pattern orientation to the wall run direction

Description: Allow walls to have the option to lock cut pattern orientation to the wall run direction. This would allow things like Fire rating patterns to be part of the wall family and it would show up correctly in plan. It would also save time detailing if patterns could be put right into the wall type.

Combine this with my other wish to allow materials to have plan cut patterns and section cut patterns and this should save some time and work.

Walls should also allow for model patterns to be used in cut views, not just drafting patterns, this would probably help full-fill the above wish as model hatches can be rotated unlike drafting hatches; as well as scale the same in every view (ie. brick/blockwork hatches are conventionally drafted as the same spacing as the real masonry units, while Revit only allows a non-scalable hatch being used, so wall display correctly as one scale but wrong in every other scale).
