Hi, I'm using Revit Archtitecture 2009 and I've run into a snag that I haven't found a solution to. I have a horizontal reveal running along a few of my walls that is about 2/3rds of the wall up the wall. I want to paint the wall above the reveal one color, and below the reveal another. The problem is that I cannot split the wall along the reveal because when you enter the split face editor, it shows that the wall is already split where the reveal is drawn, but if you try to paint that upper portion of the wall, it still paints the entire wall. I tried splitting the face of the wall first and painting it the two seperate colors, but then when I apply the reveal, it wants to delete my splitting element. Any suggestions? Am I missing something or is this a bug? If so, does anyone have a snazzy work-around? I've attached a screen shot of my wall in the split face editor. Also, I really don't want to create another wall type and make the split in the assembly itself because only portions of my walls actually have this reveal. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the advice guys, but that only seems to work if I split the entire wall so that I have two seperate walls stacked on top of one another. This may be the route I am forced to take, but I would really like the wall to remain one wall and only split the face of the wall on one side. Not possible?

It's a bug in the software. Try this.

I would use a "compound wall". In the wall editor you can assign multiple materials to the same layer thickness within a wall. (Hopefully this is where you added your reveal as well). In the wall editor, make sure you activate the preview and set to section. Then explore the use of "split region" and "assign layers".
