Custom origin point of building materials/hatch patterns

Is it possible to change the origin point of building materials/hatch patterns on elevations so that the brick coursing can line up with the slab line?

There is an 'Align 3D Texture > Set Origin' command, which as the name suggests must be done in 3D.

Can't be done in elevation.

 

The origin of your building material will always set out from the Project Origin - unless you move it with this command.
