After adding the reveal in the wall type, the surface pattern of the wall still goes through where the reveal is, why?
See attached PDF file.

Mine works just fine. - There is something else you have not told us.

I just randomly did one in a new file and it still didn't work.
I'm curious if there's a setting you used that I didn't?

Almost every Revit project file posted seems to have problems for me. I can not open this. Sorry.

I just figured out my problem with rvt files here. If I don't have revit already open and I try to open from RC, it screws up Revit. It will work for other projects but not for the one I downloaded.
You should always post what Revit you are using. Yours is a 2012 file. Mine was 2011. I opened your file and it was exactly as you said. And when I added a sweep outside of the wall description, that too had the materials applid in the sweep. I opened a blank project and that worked the same. This appears to be a bug that I have not seen or heard about.
I opened 2013 and it works the same as 2011 - no material in the void sweep.

the example wall you posted only has one material component in your wall assembly. Your reveal needs to be deeper than your outermost wall component in order to cut through the material to the one below. Otherwise you can just use the paint command on the reveal area (tabbing as always) with the material you want.

Sorry, it's version 2012.
So how can you paint the reveal when you set the reveal in the wall properties? I didn't see the option available?

cbieser, I'm sorry but you are incorrect. This has nothing to do with the material thickness. It appears to be a bug in 2012.
diesellam - I have always been able to paint the inside faces of reveals. This would be a pain in this case but should work. Use 3D vies so you can rotate and see all surfaces.

So I have to do it on every single wall?
That kind of defeats the purpose of setting the reveal in this wall type, right?
You mentioned this is a bug in 2012, does this problem go away in 2013?

OK, I guess the easiest solution is to upgrade to 2013

before you buy anything....
this is from the WikiHelp:
NoteThere is no material choice for reveals. The material for the reveal is the same as the material it is cutting.

Absolute - do a simple test in 2012 and 2013. You will see what we are talking about.
