Hi all,
I would like to know by your experience, how do you model finished.
You prefer multilayer wall or model them separatelly?
If you model them separatelly you might have better control but more work to do.
What is your model philosophy?
WALLS: our Architects control the wall finishes. the wall finishes are almost always incorporated into the wall structure. the only time we place a wall on a wall to represent a surface condition would be for example, metal panel cladding. in which case we would use a curtain wall up against another wall type.
FLOORS: our Architects start with a basic floor to start the project. When the Structural department gets involved, the Architects will defer to the Structural floor, usually at around 30%. After that, the Architectural/Interiors group will place a thin floor over the Structural floor to represent the finished surface condition.

FLOORS: I say that is a good way to preceed . Basically in detail design you will be having 3 floors: 1 structural,1 architectural, 1 floor finish.
WALLS: I partially agree. How can you hide the layer of finish e.g. in floor plan in a multi layered wall? How will you model ceramic tiles as wall finish?
The workflow @hmunsell suggests works well. I would simply add that with dual floors and/or walls (a finish element and a structural element), it would be good to choose which layer is "master" and which is "slave." Maybe you could align and lock the slave layer to the master layer, but only if you're sure the one will always follow the other exactly.
To hide finish layers, create a view filter and use some defining parameter to filter that finish layer out.
May you do an example how you filter out a single layer from a multilayer wall?
I meant you could hide the finish layer if it is a separate wall element. Revit does not have an option to hide individual layers within a single wall element. I was stating support of the workflow given above in which the finish wall is a different wall element than the structural wall.

the architectural one usually gets deleted at some point or put on a work-set that is turned off.

you edit the structure of the wall to include a 1/4"(or whatever) finish layer for the tile. assign a material with surface pattern hatch. Never had a need to turn off the finish of a wall :-).
update.... if you don't have a lot of instances needing this, you can select he wall and pick Create parts, then you can select the finish and Hide in View.
