    Question Can you assign materials to Duct / MvParts using Styles??

    Just like the title asks, I'm wondering if there's a way to assign materials to ducts, fittings, and MvParts as easily as you can to AutoCAD Architecture AEC objects. I know I can simply assign a material to duct by initiating the material in the Materials Palette and selecting the duct, but I like the control of how AutoCAD Architecture works, especially with MvParts such as fan power boxes or ceiling diffusers. I'm wanting to do this so I can create high quality rendering scenes of a finished product.

    Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I haven't found a better way than what you mentioned, other than emporting into Navisworks or 3dsMax for further material assignment.
