Best Practices for Applying a Painted Finish

So I've noticed that as I continue to work in the new 2019 that they've made a bunch of changes to how different tools work, and as I put the finishing touches on my project, I wanted to see what people thought were the best practices for applying paint.

 

For example, let's say I have an exterior stucco wall, and on one side it is painting red and on the other it is blue (not actual, but I'm trying to facilitate the conversation).

 

From my perspective when making the Stucco wall, the wall is still the same stucco, and for the purposes of cataloging the quantity of the stucco, it would seem that you'd want to catalog it all as the same material (i.e. 3/4" Stucco)

 

Now it doesn't make much sense to me to then add another layer to the stucco wall that is the paint, especially given that this is such a tiny thickness all it will do is screw up dimensioning, etc.

 

Enter my idea to use the Paint Tool, and apply the appropriate Paint to the Stucco, so that it is still the same stucco wall, but one is painted blue and the other red.   I've been told that the problem with this is that the paint tool can't be quantified in a schedule, but I formally don't have any experience with this.

 

Additionally, given that the stucco wall will also have Foam profiles applied to it, it seems to me that you'd model these foam profiles as the foam that they are, and then apply the painted finish you want through the paint tool.

 

Am I'm on the right track, or is there a better way that I'm missing.  The goal being in the end to properly catalog and quantify the amount of stucco, and then separately the amount of paint.

 

Thank you for the help.

Paint is a tool and it sounds like you have put it to good use. Paints can be identified in a material take-off schedule by adding the parameter Paint to the schedule.

If I make a finish identifying tag, what parameter would I reference to identify the paint (i.e. P-1) on my elevations or even in plan?  Or is this already built into a standard tag in Revit.  Like I said this is my first application of this tool, so I'm trying to determine the best practices of it's use before I waste a bunch of time and find out I should've done it differently all along.

You would use a Material Tag normally. It picks up painted materials the same way it picks up other materials.

That is inaccurate. Paint can be quantified in an MTO schedule .

Is that a shared Parameter you made, or one prebuilt into Revit?

Built-in.  All those parameters shown in screenshot are.

...FWIW: We model finishes, such as stucco systems, as wall layers (e.g. Stucco o/ Lath o/ Foam Board).
