Hi,

I want to apply different material on all outside window reveals. I figured out that side window reveal can be devide by "closure line" which is in window family, and when i wrap walls at insert. However nothing happens with top reveal...

Correct, closure settings for wraps doesn't work at the head.

You can paint this surface in the model.

You could also provide a thin material here in the window family.

If anbody else has a solution, I would like to hear it.

Thanks for reply!

"You can paint this surface in the model." what do you mean paint it in the model?

This is actually what I want to do... To paint that part from exterior

Goto a 3D view and spin the model so you can look up at the bottom of the window head then use the paint process to apply your material.  NOTE!  Paint is only a 3D surface change.  It does not change the representation of the material in section/plan views.
