Anyone got woodform families for structure elements? i tried changing material to wood but it doesn’t look like in real life

Hi @RafaelMarinado its that a rendered view from revit ? im not sure how realistic you are after, but for better rendering then probably revit isnt the right tool…i would go with 3ds max and vray render or something similar or some of these render 3rd part for revit…not really a dynamo thing so…

The problem is modelling this in revit, maybe using a wall with different material phases, idk much what i can do

It sounds like you’re not ready for Dynamo yet. If you’re still trying to figure out how to best model and/or render these elements then that’s a question for one of the Revit (or rendering platform) forums. That should be a much better place for this kind of discussion.

Once you have the process figured out, you may be able to leverage Dynamo to streamline things.
