Let’s say, you supply thermal insulation; Do the following: Create a template for major model-based architectural packages (i.e.: Material assigned and with dual graphics Make the graphics really good! Perfect representation in sections (fills/hatches consistent and labelled); Multiple colour options for design. Work with them!

Materials in Families. When building your families you might notice there are many ways to apply materials to your solids. Here are 4 ways to apply materials and some reasons for using each. go to its properties and specify a material for your solid form in the Material parameter under the Materials & Finishes group.

Once an as-built model is done you might want to archive a copy of the model just incase the design scope changes and you have to start all over again with a clean as-built. The model builder is going to have to do partial demolition of walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, etc.
