struggling putting color on divided parts of walls

I divided walls to make the walls panels. Now when I go to edit the appearance of the wall with the paint tool it wont let me select the wall. My ultimate goal it to make the individual panels different colors, but I cant even make any panel colored. 

 

please help.

answered it myself, i needed to go into properties for each panel and click the box material by original so it was off

I still can't paint my wall parts. Did you change the material for the different wall panels? My problem is I am creating a precast building and I need to paint different sections of my concrete panel. I don't want to create multiple materials of concrete to change the color. We schedule our materials and embed structural capacities into the concrete. In reality it is just painted and would like to just show paint for the architectural elevations.

 

Why doesn't paint show when visibility is set to 'show parts'?

 

We also use complex reveal patterns and would like to paint sections without having to use the 'split face' trick to use reveal edges to define paint areas. 

 

Any Precast architectural gurus out there that can help with best practice of having panels and architectural design?

@Anonymous - Modify>>Split Faces

 

Revit will prompt you to sketch to split the faces of your wall. It can be as simple as a single line going across the face dividing it into half.

 

Once the split has happened, create the materials you need.

 

Modify>>Paint

 

If you don't like the result,

 

Modify>>Remove Paint

You cannot paint parts.  You have to select the parts, untick Material by Original box, and give them the materials you want to paint.

that's what I'm afraid of. it is OK on simple buildings but I have over 300 concrete panels. All requiring multiple colors. there are already multiple reveals in each. it is very tedious to click through and split face every wall in order to have the reveals work as a paint 'boundary'. Unfortunately this doesn't even include all the exposed wall ends that need to be treated separately from the face.

 

I realize this is a limitation. Just hoping that another workaround or fix had happened by Revit 2019 that I wasn't aware of.

@Anonymous I'm intrigued. Are they identical panels? Is the pattern rectangualr or at crazy angles? Can you model (a) a thin curtain wall to apply to the surface or (b) a thin family (for crazy irregular patterns) made out of extrusions to which the material has been applied? Or maybe model the entire wall of curtain wall panels to which the required material is applied? To play devil's advocate - you may be guilty of adding too much 3D geometry to the model. Can you tell the story that you want with 2D Detail Component families just to make the elevations look right? Trust me, we all do that. There's only so much 3D that Revit can handle. Finally - Can you share a picture of what is is that you are trying to achieve?
