This feature is desperately needed for my current project. We are building a new company HQ and since we are a Technology contractor, the cable tray is on full display as part of the office design aesthetic. We are using white cable tray to match the white racks in the otherwise blacked-out server room. We are using steel wire mesh tray around the rest of the office (which will not be hidden above ceilings) so people can walk around and see the red, white, and blue bundles of cables running from the server room to each outlet.

 

My company recently purchased Revit because we realized we needed to start working within BIM to stay relevant. I have been building the new HQ in Revit as a learning exercise, but after showing the executive team the progress, they were very impressed and suggested we do a fly-through of the new office to display on our video wall. It's a shame there's no way to change the material for cable tray. For now, I am using the Object Style material override to make the cable tray look like steel wire mesh, but for the white ladder tray within the server room I guess I am going to have to go through the tedious process of creating a generic In-Place model that looks like ladder tray, then apply the white material to that.
