How to apply materials and image textures to ducts?

Hello, I'm trying to apply materials to a duct system family, but I've tried everything and I didn't find a proper solution.

 

I already know how to apply materials to pipes and structural system families, but as far as I've seen, no one on the interweb knows how to apply materials and external image textures to duct systems familes. Does any of you know how to do it?

 

That would be very helpful. Thanks!

Can't help with external images, but I've had success using the paint function to approximate materials on ducts.

@Anonymous is this sort of what you're looking to do? Note, you can duplicate/rename duct systems to create more than the default Supply, Return & Exhaust systems.

Hi, @Matt__W! It's almost that. I finally got a solution. I found out that I can apply a material on Object Styles and that solved my problem. Now I can upload image textures to duct system materials.

Hi, @bsammis! I could get the result I wanted by going to Visibility/Graphic Overrides > Object Styles > Ducts > Material column. Now we're working on an API to add image textures on every family we have.

 

Thank you, guys.
