Try the following:
You should create a Building Material (BM) that uses this desired Fill Pattern. One such BM is the "Insulation - Mineral Soft" and it uses the "Insulation 01". The Fill pattern you create must be a Symbol Fill type because that is the only Fill type for which you can use the "Fit to Skin" option in the Building Materials Dialog. Then, make sure that the BM uses this Fill Type and the Fill Orientation field is set to "Fit to Skin".
Then create a Composite that is composed of a single skin with this Building Material, and use that Composite.

thnx for the reply!
ok i got it, so i create a custom symbol fill and as you can it works in the floor plan - fit in skin - but the problem is with the GO symbol fill tha it isnt in the list
the result i am trying to have is a wall with grey solid fill and a stone pattern for the floor plan - cut element - and for the top floor plan or the elevation where the wall is projected to have only the stone pattern..and fot that i use a GO with the same material(materila tha it doesnt apear in the list )with transparent backround

I wonder if it has anything to do with the "Use with" setting of the Fill you created. Try to check all three options (Drawing Fill, Cover Fill, Cut Fill) for it in the Fill Types Dialog and see if that helps.
