Well, this is more a 'why' question, not a how question. Just believe there is always a practical reason behind every setting. It's already Revit 11 now, there must be some reason why they don't set this up? Just curious.

You can assign a finish to surfaces of rooms and track it.... but you want it to be automatic? Do your walls / follors only reside in one room? I doubt it. Eventually we may have a finish category that you can apply by room but seem that this could be real complicated ... wainscots, jogged walls, accent areas - just too many variables.

Yes, I figured out after I post the question. Exactly speaking, it's not because like floor not only reside in one room, but because there might be more than one wall material in one room.

It's a major bugbear of our office that we can't migrate all of the ID packages we require into Revit - and finishes are a key one. We've experimented with instance based shared parameters for walls with "paint finish side 1" and "paint finish side 2" but that was a pig to manage, and had no bearing on the wall in the model itself which would only render and tag in RLEs the material assigned to the type's layers. Painting's another option we've tried, but that's fairly labourious also, even with a nice 3D view only showing all the walls and running amok with the paintbrush. It's certainly been the most rewarding in terms of our experiment models, but then they've only been 4-6 room affairs, where we've hardly replicated the size (200+ rooms) and complexity (mental health) of our projects so the workload ishard to scale up. It also requires a fair amount of split facing work, which I've never enjoyed.
