Hotlink Wall Color/Material override

KB arch design
Participant

Hello everyone,

 

I'm looking for a solution for modifying the color/material of the exterior wall of a Hotlink within the host file. To elaborate, I am using the same Hotlink (townhome) multiple times within my file, but I need a distinct exterior wall material/color for each Hotlink. Can I change the material individually for each copy of the hotlink?

 

Is there a way to do this?  Or do you have some alternative solution to show different materials for each hotlink?

I haven't tried this.

But I would try setting up a Graphic Override rule.

Each hotlink should have its own unique 'master ID'.

The criteria would need to be something like this I think ...

Then set the surface override you want.

Thank you! I'm trying to do this, but do you know, where can I find the master ID  of each hotlink? 

Sorry for the delay in reply - I have been on vacation.

 

Right click on anything in the module and choose 'Hotlink Selection Settings'.

If you did not give it a master ID when you placed it, then you can give it one now.
