Hello,
I hope someone can help me do the flooring for my project for school. I put up walls for the house I am working on in Revit but wondering how I should go about adding flooring and afterwards add the finishing material (from Bimobjects.com) such as wood flooring for living areas and tiles for the bathroom. My thought was to add a 12 inch generic floor using boundary lines on the exterior side of the walls for the entire house and after that do separate floors for each of the rooms.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Dear edwin.avanes,
Without further knowledge of your issue I would say that you could simply model the finishing floors inside your rooms and apply the materials to it. Then apply the appropriate visual style to the view to show the desired praphical results.
I would only create two adjacent floors (one over the other) in the case of diferente of them being at different levels and having different footprints (borders). For instance, if you really need to represent the larger overall floor under your walls and/or your finishing floors. In that case the approach I'd suggest would be to create a floor to be "like" a slab on grade, spreading all through the building footprint and under the walls. To achieve this you could use the "floor" object rather than the "building pad" object, just as you mentioned. The finishings could be applied using a second floor to be modeled right above the basic floor you've first created. You could use a separate floor instance for each diferent type of finishing material or finished grade/level. Also a good advice to limit this finishing floors sketches to the finishing face of the walls that surround a specific "finishing floor". For this finishing floors you could than apply the materials you've dowloaded from bim object site and get to the graphical results you desire.
Hey there! Sounds like a cool project. For adding flooring in Revit, you can start by creating a generic floor for the entire house as you mentioned. Use boundary lines on the exterior side of the walls. Once you have that base floor, you can then create separate floors for each room.
For the finishing materials, you can use BIMobjects.com to get the wood flooring for the living areas and tiles for the bathroom. Apply these materials to the specific floors in each room after you've created them.
Hope this helps, and good luck with your project!
