two colors in one solid geometry

Hi friends

 

Attached is the family file of a pendant light fixture. The actual light has black color on exterior side and bronze on interior side. 

My problem is how to assign two colors. Because when you assign, Revit picks the whole geometry and assigns one color to the whole body.

Hi Deepak, 

 

Unless the family was created as a whole mass you should be able to assign different components different materials. If its one mass try splitting it. Or divide the pendants shade in to an inner and outer layer, that way you can give the two different material finishes you desire. 

 

Sorry I cant open the file to see as I don't have Revit 2017 yet.

 

Cheers,

 

Jacob

@ToanDN Thanks for the reply. I tried the paint tool, it didnt work. Okay i will try it again.

 

@JacobDSimpson Thanks for the reply. It is a hemispherical light ( same pic as posted by @ToanDN above ) . It is a revolve, one mass. Could you tell me how it can be split in parts or different layer ?

I just painted it with a random different material.  You can repaint it with the proper one again.

@ToanDN Thanks, it is working :). 

 

But, at the same time, I would also like to learn the method suggested by @JacobDSimpson  :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht: .

You edit the family.

 

You select the revolved form and edit it, changing the revolved profile to eliminate an appropriate portion of the shape. You finish editing it.

 

You create a NEW revolve, using the same centerline, reprepresenting the part of the shape you removed in the previous step. You finish editing it.

 

Now you've got TWO forms, and they each can have their own material assignment.

Hi Sakar,

 

I would copy and paste the object, editing it making it slightly larger, then place one over the other (Slide 2) and then be able to change the 2 materials, not exactly 'splitting' as the word I used, but it is creating 2 different objects in the family and if you like it has technically been divided in to different parts, so could count as 'splitting'

 

Hope this helps,

 

Cheers,

 

Jacob

@JacobDSimpson Thanks for the answer dear Jacob. My name is Deepak as you mentioned in your first post.

 

On the side lines, 'Sakar' is the name of my firm. Sakar is a Hindi word meaning realization as in " realizing the dreams".

Hi @sakar_deepak, my apologies for that. That's a very good name for a firm, very appropriate. 

 

Cheers,
