    Default Override cut fill patterns of materials, for instance: override cut pattern fill with another fill p

    Summary: Override cut fill patterns of materials, for instance: override cut pattern fill with another fill pattern based on scale of the view.

    Description: For instance brick walls: we need another drafting fill pattern for 1:100/1:50 views then for 1:5/1:10 views.

    In 2013 we can override an OBJECT, but not a MATERIAL's FILL PATTERN.

    What I want: some kind of filter where I can do things like:
    Make a filter: select all objects (OR SUBOBJECTS LIKE SUBCATS of DOORS!) that have materials with drafting patternX, and override those patterns with patternY.

    I would then use the filter in view templates of more detailed views like 1:5 and 1:10.

    It appears that the workflow is faulty here. Fill patterns at a small scale are virtually indistinguishable from one another. For that reason we typically prefer for solid components to simply print as solids in sectional views. For large scale views we substitute detail components for wall patterns.

    For the general plan view drawings, there is already an alternate pattern. Check the "coarse" display of the wall types. This allows the material patterns to display at medium and fine displays, with an override at the coarse display setting.
