Is there a way to do wall fill patterns and force them to be a certain width?  I am working on life safety plans and want to use wall fill patterns, but I have specialty wall thicknesses that the fill pattern cannot be seen when printed because the wall is too thin. My company would like for all fire rated walls to be the same thickness regardless of how thin or thick the wall is.  Is this possible when using fill patterns?

Do a search for fire rated walls and there are a lot of threads here on th subject.

I believe that you will find that wall fills will not be your answer.  They will be only the thickness of the wall.

We prefer to halftone the model elements and add wide linework (different for each rating) down the center of our rated walls.

Not parametric but easily read.
