when developing a floor system for a house how does one show different floor finishes from room to room. the same structure will be under the living and bath, but floor finishes for each room will be different.

You might also consider using a "thin floor" to represent the floor finish and separate from the structural floor. You can split the face of the thin floor independently from the structural floor, and also adjust thicknesses if needed.

Use color fill command defined by room. This is designed to accomplish exactly what you're looking for.

i think gogen's option is best. the others are good too, but we have learnt to adopt mr spot's suggestions on this site, to use revit to literally build the model. this includes 'thin' floors. that way any section or detail looks correct. of course, what do you do at sketch design stage? then it is ok we find for example to use composite floors and rooves, changing them later when we insert structure. i have even started creating multiple walls sometimes, and cutting openings in those that do not host a window or door - again a bit like the real building. revit is the best!

We also use the "thin floor" method. It works great for us because our floor to floor heights go from structure to structure not finish to finish. We keep the finishes seperate, usually making the finishes 1/2" thick or whatever the actual floor finish is. They can be easily scheduled independantly of the structural floor, and you can also add a slab edge sweep to the floor to create base trim, which can also be scheduled where as wall sweeps can't be scheduled for some strange reason. Also if your clients use DWF's for viewing their projects, ours enjoy being able to select a floor finish in a 3D DWF and know exactly the square footage of that floor. For us there are more benifits then using the "thin floor" or as I like to call it the "finish floor" method rather than the split face tool, which seems to have problems sometimes if you are making major changes to the building.
