Hatch patterns for "earth" and 'story setting displays'??

In Autocad, (sorry to keep referring to it but..) there was a hatch pattern that was called 'weave' or 'herringbone' or something like that which architects used as an "earth" pattern in section.

Archicad's "earth" hatch pattern is a bit lacking and I'm being given hell for it at the office where I'm consulting for.

Anyway I can either A) import any autocad hatch patterns into archicad or
B) perhaps how do i edit/modify the "earth" hatch pattern to make it look like the example (see red lines).

Also, the story settings.....how do I get them to read as "42'-0" not just +42' (only showing the "feets" and no inches"??? please advise.

You all should get paid for help.

Now I've learned two things from this forum:
1) how to make my own hatch (sorry FILL) patterns.
2) how to change my story setting display.

thanks all!
