System families have a Function setting. That's true for Walls, Floor, Roofs and Ceilings. I've written about this in the past. Here's what they look like now.
I think the wording of a couple of the functions ought to be revisited, to something like this instead.
Finish 1 [4] = Finish Exterior [4]
Finish 2 [5] = Finish Interior [5]
If changed I suspect people would have less trouble deciding which function is appropriate. I run into wall types quite often that have these wrong or inconsistently applied. If you didn't realize this is how it's meant to work then check out the earlier post.

I completely agree... It took me forever to even see the significance in selected the correct one.
It cannot be that difficult of change to make for Autodesk either.
I disagree - I think it should be up to the user how these are used. What I really wish for is that Revit would allow users to set up additional Functions which are a lot less ambiguous, with additional indexes for each one to establish a correct join condition.
I'm not proposing replacing the closet, just puttin a different shirt on. What you are suggesting is a much bigger change..
Hello Steve, I agree with you about it! Just a question, I also practice n°4 finish for exterior and n°5 for interior, but for the pure operation of Revit, is there a reason? Franck
Merci !

It isn't my habit, it is how Revit is intended or intends for us to behave, us the settings. Only have to examine the stock content to see this.
