room color scheme not showing

tylerVD3L4 — Tue, 02 Feb 2021 22:00:12 GMT

Not sure why, but my room color fill scheme does not show up. I tried removing the floor as one thread suggested, but that did not help. What do I need to do? I have it working on other projects, I must have some setting off...

Turn on Rooms > Color Fill

Is Color Scheme selected in the View Template the View is using. I'm guessing not.

ooops! Guessed wrong. That's this first time that's ever happened. 😉

rooms > color fill is on. It's not over-ridden either...

The color scheme is selected in the view template...

i can see the blue X when I hover over the room. It's base and top are 0' and 8', so it should be in the view range

I do get this issue from time to time. What I did was remove the color scheme and reapply the color scheme the second time to make it show up.

I discovered an opaque filled region covering the entire plan 😝

Ahhh! The ol' "opaque filled region covering the entire plan" issue. I've seen a couple of shows on the History Channel about it. I never believed it actually existed. 😉

I'm dumbfounded. This just happened to me as well. 😂 Thank you for keeping this thread alive!

So many efforts in the last hour to get color fills to show, and that one little checkbox was the issue. Thank you for sharing this solution!

I was having the same issue, turns out to be the room was not an enclosed space.....Just a tiny gap where my walls were not intersecting.
