Coding Material Information into the Layers for Walls

In many cases, it is necessary to be able to be able to switch layers according to material (e.g. turn on only concrete walls). This can be achieved by this feature of the EDER-Tool. The requirement to use this is, that the Layer-Standard used in a configuration includes a component with the context “Material”.

It should be noted that since the Revit 2018 version this functionality can also be achieved by using the context “Parameter Driven”, described in more detail in the section Use of Revit Parameters to Define the Layer-Name.
