VW 11.5 Wall Types editing

[daomun]

I'm on VW 11.5 (Architect/Landmark) and trying to create some custom wall types. My problem is I need more hatches than what is offered in the drop down menu (default, white, grey, single, double, cross, and stipple). I would like to add a few more but can't figure out how. Is there a way? It seems like I can choose any hatch in the file for a cavity if I use the "cavity" button on the Object Info palette, but they don't appear in the Wall Types screen.

I don't mind adding them at the root level - where is the Wall Type resource file stored? Is it a txt file, lib file, or something else? And is it editable? I'm on Windows XP Pro SB 2.

Just re-learning VW after many years away (v8.5).

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

VW11 wall style hatches are not editable. VW12 has fully editable hatches.

Thanks for the quick reply - and on the weekend.

I was afraid of that. I guess I'll just have to make do until I can upgrade.

I did watch the VW12 wall styles video on the web site, and the wall style improvements look very nice. Not to mention a lot of other stuff (roof soffits, drape command, etc).

Thanks again.
