Hi
I am currently drawing the building in the attached photo. I am quite new to revit and would like to know how to achieve the effect of the exterior wall in the image. How can you modify the wall to have a brick finish at the bottom and then a paint finish at the top. I know it can be done by placing a brick wall ontop of a paint finished one but thought there may an easier way.
Also I have never used revit to design the area around a building. Some help in starting to create a siteplan and draw in roads, parking bays, shrubery, etc, would be appreciated. Also help in designing the contours of the land around the builing would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Nathan,
To create the wall structure you need, you will have to create a vertically compound wall. That's a fancy way of saying that 2 finish components are stacked one on top of the other.
Go to the Wall Element Properties window.
Click on the Edit/New button.
Click on the Preview button if it is not open.
Click on Duplicate to define a new type of wall.
Click on Edit next to the Structure parameter.
Create your basic wall type with the bottom finish assigned to the exterior face.
Set your wall sample height to the appropriate height.
Use the Split Region tool to split the wall at the height of the bottom material.
Create a new finish layer with a material component to mimics the top portion of your wall.
Click on Assign Layers and click on the top portion of the wall while the layer is selected in the list.
That should do it. This same technique can be used to create a solider course of bricks. Good luck.
Sean
