Wall Type Material - CMU

[Ed at ELM]

I just started using Revit. I've not used an Autodesk product before. It was going well until I made a stacked wall with (2) different types of CMU. I used a split face CMU wall that came with the software on the bottom half of the wall and a standard CMU type on the top half of the wall. When I look at the wall in Elevation or 3D view it all appeared the same. So I looked at the material of each and found they both were "Concrete Masonry Unit". I then changed the material of the lower half of the wall to "CMU, Split Face" and then the appearance was what I expected but with one problem. The Concrete Masonry Unit material appears 2 1/2 times larger than the CMU, Split Face material. The Concrete Masonry Unit material appears correctly in that it is 8" high and one block is 16" long. The split material has 2 1/2 courses in every 8" vertically. Same distortion horizontally. As a test I drew a wall with the "Exterior - Split Face and CMU on Mtl. Stud" type wall that comes with the software. It contains both material types and again the different scales. Is this just a problem with the Autodesk split face material? Or, am I missing something obvious? Thanks for any help anyone may have.

In your materials you can specify a fill pattern....so you just need to modify the material appearance. Be warned, if that material is used in other places where that is correct it will change. So if this is a one place type of thing, duplicate the material and give it a new name.

It didn't have a surface pattern so I added the 8"x16" block one but that didn't work. Clicking on the Appearance tab and then clicking directly on the image popped up a Texture Editor which showed dimensions for (4) block high and also (2) blocks wide as 1'-0 1/2". Changing that to 2'-8" solved the problem. Thanks for the guidance and love your location. I lived in Moscow twice.
