Rendering mullions with a different colour inside and outside

Hi,

 

I need to render a curtain wall with mullions that have a different coloured finish on the interior side than the exterior side, and seeing as mullions are formed by  profile families, this cant be done. Using the paint tool to override the material doesnt work on the mullion faces either - has anyone found an alternative trick for this problem?

 

 

thanks for your time!

Depending on what your exact requirements are.

 

Some possible solutions

1-Make half curtain walls and place them back to back

2-Create regular mullion and create colored edge in your panels that falls over your mullions

3-Create thin (face)based family and stick it on one side of the mullions

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

I was going to suggest creating the profile with two different subcategories, but I tried it and creating new subcategories doesn't seem to be allowed within the mullion profile family template. So...I got nothing.

 

Well, you could just use the Paint tool on the inside faces in the project, but if you have a lot that could be tedious.

thankyou! some great suggestions there - i will do some tests, and see which one could function for what we need - and uses the least manual work! we are in the concept phase so mullion sizing is still uncertain, it would have been great if somehow i could have embedded this information in the mullion as a front / back material...

 

 

thanks again,

thanks for trying! you cant paint the faces of mullions though which would have been an ok solution.

Here is another approach using curtain walls as curtain panels.

Hello,

I am very happy with this solution. But when I demolish the curtain wall the inner curtain walls (used for panels) are locked in en can't demolished. Have you got a solution for this?

It would be very helpful.

Thanks in advace

Kind regards,

Tamar
