Finish Layers

Decorative Finish Layers

Create decorative finish layers: walls, ceilings, floors, thresholds, roofs.

• Parameter Details

1. Wall

Set the corresponding parameters and click a room to quickly generate decorative finish layers.

In practice, prioritize generating the finish type with the largest area in a room first, then modify local finishes as needed. You can also generate by picking wall surfaces.

If exterior dimension annotations already exist, generating finish layers will prompt about annotation deletion. Delete them and regenerate after finish layers are complete. So consider annotating exterior dimensions after finish layers are done.

Simulated Stacked Wall

Select a stacked wall type, check "Simulated Stacked Wall", and finish layers will be created based on the stacked wall structure using base wall combinations.

2. Common Parameters

The common parameters section applies to the function buttons below the window.

3. Floor

For floor generation, it's also recommended to generate the most used type first, then manually replace types for the small remainder.

4. Threshold

Threshold generation is recommended after generating the room's floor. It generates based on the floor edge lines on both sides of the opening. For exterior wall door openings, it generates from the interior floor outward by 200mm.

Pick door/partition to generate

Steps: Pick a door or curtain wall partition of a cut wall.

5. Ceiling

The ceiling here uses the floor type instead of Revit's ceiling element.

Using floor instead of ceiling has many advantages — explore on your own.

Light Pool Capping

Quickly cap closed-loop floor edges. The ceiling type is the same as the ceiling creation in the common parameters section.

Roof

If roof creation fails, manually create a random roof in the project, then delete it. After that, run the plugin command again — it should work normally.

Besides generating common mineral board and block ceiling materials, it can also be used for floor tile paving.

This uses the glass sloped glazing feature.

Opening Edge Trim

Trim openings in doors, windows, and curtain wall partitions in base walls that lack finish layers on side panels.

The type used is the roof type from the common parameters.

If roof creation fails, manually create a random roof in the project, then delete it. After that, run the plugin command again — it should work normally.

Windowsill Stone

Create windowsill stones, compatible with window families and curtain wall openings.

Steps: Select window or curtain wall → Select the finish surface

Ensure finish layers exist before creating.

8. Refresh Types

When new types are created in the project, click the refresh button to ensure new types are available in the parameter options.

Baseboard

Pick a room to generate baseboards. Supports recessed baseboard creation.

For recessed baseboards, two types are used together. A sweep cuts the wall, and a wall reveal creates the recess.

Finish layers must be created before creating baseboards!

The benefit of creating baseboards separately is that they can be hidden in plan views. If displayed directly in the wall type, they cannot be hidden.

Multi-Layer Edge

Generate multi-layer structure floor edges, mainly for multiple materials and multiple closed contours.

A single floor edge type only supports one material, so multiple types need to be assembled when multiple materials are involved.

Hold Ctrl to multi-select, Shift to select a range. After selecting, click the function, then click the edge line to place. After picking, click Finish in the upper left corner.

Wall Edge

Create recessed light trough structures for wall components. Curtain walls only work on flat walls, and the wall profile must have at least one straight line.

Veneer

Apply veneer effect to selected surfaces.

If roof creation fails, manually create a random roof in the project, then delete it. After that, run the plugin command again — it should work normally.

Combined with glass sloped glazing in roofs and curtain walls in walls, common tile joint requirements can be met without a complete room.

Scraping / Bare Ceiling Spray

Note: Before operating, use the Room Parameter tool to adjust room heights to cover the area that needs scraping.

Bare ceiling spray

Steps: Select the corresponding horizontal and vertical elements → Set the starting level line for spraying → Click the Generate button.

Slicing

Slice solid geometry.

Steps: Select the main body → Select the drawn reference line.

Floor Merge

Merge selected connected floors into a single unit. Mainly used for merging floor and threshold models.

Watch tutorial video on Bilibili → Floor Merge (opens new window)

Steps: Box-select the floors to merge. Can be operated continuously.

Full-Floor Opening

One-click finish layer opening at door and window locations.

Note: May fail if the distance between finish layer and base layer is too large.

Single Wall Opening

Box-select to quickly create openings. Note: only box-select the wall segment that needs openings, not other wall segments. Compatible with common wall-based openings (e.g., doors and windows) and curtain wall types embedded in walls.
