How do you do this pls?

Hi Paul,
It's a Revit family feature. instance parameters in Revit's family editor could be created for various attributes, including a piece of geometry's material. That way the user could change materials for each instance of the family within Revit - same family, different materials on the fly.
Best,

But you would still need to add enough materials to the project if only as placeholders to assign your desired octane materials.
Type, instance or different family (name) altogether... I guess I'm still hoping for the plugin to some day simplify revit's horribly in intuitive way it handles materials.
Don't get me wrong, I love applying a BIM methodology to design and that everything is a 'something'. But early in a project it would be nice to just model it, drag material into things and make it look pretty. The exactness and 3-4 deep menu to assign & manage materials in Revit does my head in...
Prob my fault for not setting up a fat template of materials which have pre-tweaked octane materials 'default'ed to them.
