Autodesk Revit MEP Wishes

[#1]

We're Hydraulic Designers and the industry is screeming to have pipe systems in 3D in COLOUR!!!

[#2]

Revit can do this without any problem.

[#3]

THat's great news! But I've just sat through 3 days of REVIT training and was told consistently that there is no way to identify pipe runs in colour in 3D view (unless you 'paint' each individual element!).....

[#4 · Accepted solution]

I have about 20 different pipe types on one of my projects, I have used "Filters" located in the Visibility/Graphic Overrides to set different colors to all different types.  You just have to play with the filter settings a bit.

It works beautifully! Thank you all.... I will have great pleasure advising our 'trainer' of this revelation.

Who on earth told you that rubbish? Its one of the more basic things to do.
