**Repost from: http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=20823
I'm having some troubles with the 'paint' tool in Revit 2013. Here is my situation:
I have duplipacte instances of the same group of exterior walls stacked up for a tower facade. I used the split face command while editing inside the group to break the walls into their seperate material finish areas. I then used the paint tool to paint the various finishes on the wall areas. Everything is working great so far.
However, when I finish the edit group mode, the custom paint areas do not apply to the other duplicates of the group instance. Additionally, if I go into group edit mode on one of the other duplicate instances and try paint those walls, the paint from the first group will 'jump' to the most recently edited group instance but not remain on the first group.
To sum it up, I can only get the paint tool to affect one copy of multiple duplicate groups at a time.
Has anyone encountered this before? Is this a group issue, or an issue with painting material surfaces? Is there a work-around, besides making everything seperate groups.

A splitface is an instance application. After you split the face, did you then edit the group to add the plit face. I just did that and it works.

Thanks for the response.
The splitface seems to be permeating throughout the duplicate group instances, however the paint applied to the various faces does not permeate.

Paint is an instance element and you can't add it to the group. At least you have the split regions.
Perhaps you could have used a better method.

Well that's why I put the question up on here. If there is a better way to do this, please let me know your thoughts.

Hard to suggest anything without seeing an image of what you are actually trying to accomplish. To me it sounds like if you have the same facade all the way up you should be able to do it as a single wall.

He's editing a group and using the split face tool on a wall and painting on material. When he finishes editing and saves the group the changes do not appear in the other groups. WWHub say it's because splitface and paint is an instance edit process, like an instance parameter. Leahye 19 wants to know gives and is there a way to do what he wants that acts like a Type parameter (Group)process.

The question is, what kind of wall does he need. It may be that stacked walls or walls with sweeps or even split may accomplish what he wants but we don't know what the wall looks like. If it is an amoebe shaped area then split is the only answer ... but how do we know without asking.

Thanks corred for helping clarify. I know what he is asking and what WWHub was suggesting. My question was basically what does it look like, why does it need to be grouped?

Hopefully leahye19 will help us out. I would imagine it's just a standard basic straight wall that he has split and painted some material on. Now he want that exact same wall in all gruops to reflect this change.
