Does anyone know of a way to apply a material to a geometry brough to revit rhough rino. There are too many faces to paint, so I would like to apply it to the entire object.
If you use a DirectShape component ByGeometry you can apply a Revit materiel to the objects:

Let’s suppose that I create a Revit family (furniture) with Rhino.inside by adding a geometry with a material applied to it.
Then I share the family to another guy; can him change the material to the elements of the family? Or have I to create a family parameter into Revit? Is there a workflow to do it?
You need to create a Family Material parameter and tie that to the material parameter of the created object. Currently there are no components in Rhino.Inside.Revit to support this.

The problem is that I don’t have the possibility to assign a parameter since it is a direct shape object.
Or am I missing smth?
edit: I forget to say that I’m working with imported meshes.
edit 2 : I tried to create a Furniture family (made with breps) with the family.new component and it’s working fine.
Yes directshapes are pretty limited in Revit.
hi Ehsan - this is exactly the problem I am facing now. Is this possible now with the latest RIR? I am struggling to change the material of the family I am creating with rhino inside. I am not using Direct Shape, but actually creating mass families.
