Assigning Materials to Imported SAT Files in a Family

I'm having trouble establishing a workflow for the proper way to assign two different materials to a toilet I've created in Rhino but would like to import into Revit.  I'm including a couple of my working files below in the hope this will help illustrate what I'm dealing with. Specifically I would like the button to be one material parameter and the body to be another material parameter when ultimately brought into Revit.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

I believe you need to export from Rhino to DWG with layers in order to assign materials via Imported Object styles in Revit.

How does that work in project?  What if another SAT plumbing family needs to have a different material?

@Anonymous: You know; if it were my project....I'd download a Revit Family from the Manufacturer, or find one comparable to use. After all, It's a toilet; how unique can it be? 

 

Just saying.

lot of ways and work around to fix that .. ( shared parameters, etc )

I would just paint it...

I would say just create a simple family.. probably using SAT file as a mass and

create a regular Plumbing family to keep things simple.. 

 

there are always work around...but one or two steps are fine..cause

beyond that it opens up Pandora of problems and legacy issues..

 

Cheers!

Yes, that was my concern.

If I hadn't researched this one as much as I had I would totally agree.  At the risk of sounding like a very nerdy architect I will just say this manufacturer doesn't have a revit file and they represent a new product here in California that is being used a lot.  Great flush score (I had never heard of this until a few years ago).  Reasonable price.  Good Water conservation.  So hard to find a good toilet  :).  When I do, I like to use it.  I'm planning on specing this on many projects.

Cool!  How did you get it painted like that?  I tried it and wasn't able to get the individual faces to paint.  I'm not sure I understand how shared parameters lets you do this.  Could you elaborate?

Shared parameters would actually complicate the situation... I am not gonna explain that now

cause it will be a workaround which would take more time than actually creating a simple family.

moreover if someone new works on the project and they don't know how shared parameters works

then thats next level of complicacy..

 

keep things simple..

 

Hope your original problem is solved..

I'm somewhat familiar with shared parameters.  Somewhat familiar with Dynamo.  Would you mind telling me what kind of family type you painted that toilet in.  Were you in a plumbing family or did you create a mass family or something else.  Did you somehow get it exploded?  Any help is appreciated.  I wonder if I should just try and build this thing in Revit.  Seems pretty difficult.

Ah, I'm still on 2017.  I think that might be the issue.  I've heard some things about sat import functionality improving...think that might be the difference?

 

Thank you for your help.
