material pipes

[Andrea Dian]

good day to all, probably someone finds it banal, but I can't define the material to render different types of system family pipes. I have created various types of family of system pipes starting from the standard one:

Stainless steel pipes defined in the system pipes
pvc pipes defined in the system piping b
gas steel pipes

I tried to solve the problem in the following ways:

1- I have defined the material in the Manage/Style Objects window, but with the result that all project pipes have become defined material;

2 - I have defined the material for each single system in system of pipes/modification system/modification type/materials and finishes, not leaving "by category" but putting the desired material, but in this way if there are mechanical equipment in the system, I also change the material of each equipment;

3 - I tried to paint directly the pipe, but did not give results;

I wonder how it is possible not to define the material of every type of family of system pipes.
I thought the problem is that the family of system pipes does not have a parameter called "material". but system families are not changeable and I don't know anymore than try. :frown:

Thank you for your kindness.

Good day to all:smile:

Hi.

I think it's simple.

1) if from the styles of objects imposed a material after painting works well but this technique would avoid it because of bim has nothing.


2) if you select a tube go to the p.type
go to routing preferences( I revit eng) edit
in pipe segments find the material

if clikki on the top left find segment and sizes
clikki and enter the mechanical setting and here you create the new material.

This is bim.

Hi.

I'm sorry, did you revit 2012?

I am not with the indications even if in English

 

[Andrea Dian]

the passage I indicated I had already tried, in the mechanical settings I created a new pvc material. but it doesn't make me squash a material from the browser of materials. I don't understand.

Hi.

no I have 2013 .

I didn't install 2012.

Sorry.

 

[Andrea Dian]

practically the problem is that I cannot associate a material from the material browser to the new pipe materials I create in the mechanical settings of the pipes.
