Split with Gap walls without losing PAINT textures applied.

[Anonymous]

so far seems nobody was able to find a workaround?

when Splitting a wall with a gap, one of the 2 sides loses the Paint color/texture assigned.

same walls needs to receive different paint colors and I need always 1" gap.

Split with NO gap works like the one WITH gap should.

It's hard to completely understand what you're trying to do without a picture, but I would risk to say, If you want the paint on the interior of a wall to show up on the side of a wall you would select "wrap at ends" - Interior and if you want the exterior paint to wrap around at ends you would select exterior wrap at ends.

Have you considered using Reveals?

well, I need reveals to split the paint too..

but on this case, I need the panels independent from each other.

I know this is not going to answer your question but why can't you assign the material permanently to the wall instead of painting it? And in terms of workflow, paint should be the last act after all the modelling work is done.

If same wall needs to receive a different color on each side of the split, why is one side losing the paint not ok? Unless I am missing a point, why are going to apply a different paint anyway ... no?

Alternatives 

• A workaround to your method: use single split without gap >> click the grip of one side >> disallow join >> drag and set temp dimension to 1" (.fairly quick and easy)
• Personal preference: using parts and divide parts over split and paint
• I would use dynamo to replace current wall with wall sections with a gap 1"
• When you always have a 1" gap, use a curtain wall with invisible 1"  mullions and Basic walls for panels

basically you will have draw a wall, apply a paint texture on one side, then Split with gap under realistic rendering settings and you'll see that doesn't keep the paint.

Option 1 seems to be the best reliable accurate one but I am interested on the Dynamo one.

all walls are panels and they receive different colors sometimes, I thought that could be one too...
