Currently, when in the family environment, we can "Paint" surfaces of elements with Family [material] Parameters using the Paint tool. What we need is the ability to do the same thing with Global [material] Parameters in the project environment. For example, I can create a Global Parameter called "Dining Room Paint" and paint that parameter on all the Dining Room walls. That way, when the client changes the paint color in the Dining Room, all I have to change is the Global Parameter. Right now, I have to either have a Material dedicated to "Dining Room Paint" (and clog up the already slow material browser), or I have to go repaint all the Dining Room walls with the new color. This feature would also allow us to synchronize our finish schedule with our model since we already create global parameters for all the room finishes and link our Room family parameters to those global parameters (this comes in handy for reporting room finishes in the schedule and keeping the cabinets and trim modeled in each room consistent with the schedule)
