    Default Match Door Color to Wall Material?

    Hi All -

    My Project Manager would like to match the door color to all the different wall materials in our project. How might I go about doing this in a family so it's automatic, rather than creating an instance parameter that I have to change for each door?

    Thanks,
    Pete Wilson

    I don't think this is possible yet, but this seems to me a perfect example of what a scripting language (like in 3d studio) could do for Revit!

    You can't get the material from the wall. So you will have to do it manually

    ...but I think you could do it with the API.

    It would have been nice if you could just use the paint tool to match the two colors, but it appears you can’t paint the door family within a project; or can you..?
    You will have to manually assign finishes to the door…
