We need the standard wall insulation symbol in wall types definitions.

where? and what symbol? the insulation fill style? and where are you wanting to see that in wall type definitions?
If you are trying to designate something as insulation in a cross section view with the Auto Detail tool you simply select a layer in your wall type definition and check the box that says "Auto Detail as Insulation"

"Auto Detail as Insulation"

See if your working on a Friday night...  :-)

 

I am aware of the auto fill and use it all the time, that's not my question.   My question is that when using the auto fill, it always comes in with the "batt insulation" symbol.  About 70% of my houses use closed cell as their insulation of choice.  Forcing me to delete the batt symbol and replace with right insul. symbol.  So I was wondering where is the insulation type controlled from and if there is a location, does that also set the fill hatch pattern?  I am not seeing it in the wall dbx, and looked elsewhere as well.

I think you can make this adjustment a bit faster. It starts with having quick access to your chosen fill type. I'll demonstrate on this small modular cabin project I'm currently working on.
