And patterns in Revit are basically the equivalent of hatching in AutoCAD, just so that you know. What we're going to do is we're going to stay in our default Revit project with our linked CAD file as you can see on the screen. And I'm going to zoom in on this area here, top left. So just roll upwards on the wheel, zoom in, do a little bit of panning, get it central on the screen, like so. Now what you'll notice there is all the internal walls are using a solid line.
