Hey Guys, working on a project where the client wants to see all the different paint type abbreviations noted up on a floorplan for each room.
The problem is we have 20 rooms, and every wall in those rooms has a different paint Colour applied to each side of the same wall.
Ive hit a road block with this project. How would I go about keynoting material finishes that are different on each surface of the same wall within a floor plan, without adding an additional skin in the structure of a wall?
I tried the material keynote but it fails to pickup the different materias applied, The same abbreviation comes up..
Cheers.
From what I understand, he wants to apply different keynotes for finishes that are the same within wall structure. They just have different color so he don't wanna create new wall types. But if he creates new wall types that have different finishes, he could just use Material Keynote.
I don't see that he can have multiple keynotes for one kind of a layer, part, material...

Oups, sorry. I just realized what @ToanDN was saying. After you create parts, you can change the material of the part. So, you can define finish that is different from the one within original wall type.

There are a few methods:
It depends on how "smart" you want or need the solution to be--meaning are you doing quantity take-offs/schedules for all the different paint colors?
Does each wall have various colors on it, in a pattern?
If so, then a "smart" solution is required:
1. Create Parts; then use Divide Parts to create "regions" within the surface of the wall, and apply different materials/paint colors to each.
I think you can then get a Material Take-off Schedule to give areas of each paint color.
2. If each wall face is simply a single paint color, then you do not need to use a "smart" method as above, you could simply use User Keynotes and/ or use Keynote Tags ( or Text Notes) to indicate the paint colors.
3. I think you mentioned you did not want to create separate thin walls with a paint material only, on top of the "core walls". This is, however a valid method. You can easily use a Material Takeoff Schedule to get areas of each paint color. The downside is you now must manage a whole new set of this walls, use Join Geometry so that openings cut automatically, etc.
