I am looking to create window and door families that allow you to control the interior material and exterior material separately.
I'd like to be able to select on a window within the building and go to the properties palette and change the interior side material of the window without changing the exterior side material.
Is this possible if I just use one extrusion for the window frame?
The way I have dealt with this in the past was to create two extrusions for the window frame and sandwich them together. Then create a material parameter for the exterior side extrusion and a material parameter for the interior side extrusion and I could control the different paint colors on either side of the window from the properties palette within the project.
I am trying to simplify my window families and reduce the amount of extrusions & sweeps within the family.
Thank you
