Modify Add Direct Shape Material

Hi all,
My colleague has passed a roof via RIR to Revit. Now I want to modify its material, or change its’ material to something else. But I don’t know what is the material he used on the direct shape. I select the direct shape and found the “Edit Type” button is grey out…
How can I know what is name of the material has been applied on the direct shape roof?


Hi Jack_Zeng,

Couple ways to do this, in the Revit UI you can use the Paint command an it will tell you the existing material on the element when hovering over a face.

In Rhino.Inside.Revit you can use the Element Materials component.

Great, thanks!
