I have walls currently drawn in my model (Revit 2011) that had a 4x4 tile pattern assigned to the wall type.  I have since updated this 'place holder' tile pattern with the one we're actually using consisting of at least 3 different bands of tile including a base, a standard wall tile, and a border tile.  The wall is the correct type and has the correct properties but the pattern didn't update in all locations.

If I click on the problem wall and 'create new' the same type wall is drawn and the tile is correct on the new wall but if I do this for each wall I run the risk of losing wall hosted equipment as I'm re-hosting and transfering info.  I've tried matching properties, switching to a different wall entirely and switching back, I've checked if the walls are painted or if there are any overrides happening in the visual display, and they're all in the same phase... I can't seem to figure out what's going wrong. 

I've attached 2 images showing the problem... any suggestions are welcome - Thanks!

I use a basic wall, split the region of the finish tile layer, create a new layer, assign it to the region I just split, and give it a material assignment.  This keeps the tile the same thickness throughout and allows me to assign different tile patterns per our design.  The horizontal lines on the incorrect wall are the break marks built in to the wall structure of where the correct tile patterns should be, and when you click the properties of that wall it says that the wall layers are as they should be.

The odd thing is that the incorrect wall is the exact same wall from our component list as the other, correctly tiled wall... clicking on them simultaneously shows that they're two of the same.

I've attached a screen shot of my wall construction.
