room colours not showing

Anonymous — Thu, 24 Aug 2017 02:46:15 GMT

Hi All, hoping someone can help. None of my room colours are showing up.

- I have assigned each room to a department

- visibility/graphics override, Rooms colour fill & interior fill turned on

Is it something in visibility or type properties i have something wrong in, many thanks

You need to assign a Color scheme that uses the Department as the criteria for different colors.

Hello @Anonymous

Go to Annotate Tab > Color Fill Panel > Color Fill Legend and placed the legend on your working view.

To edit the Color Scheme

Select the Department Legend and click the Edit Scheme appeared in the Ribbon..

Thanks colour scheme is assigned to department, I can create the legend with correct names and colours but still colours don't appear in plan.

I don't have tag numbers set up but not associating colours to tags so not sure this is the problem, thanks

But did you assign the color scheme to the view?

Excuse my inexperience but how do I do that?

Open the view and look at the Property palette for Color Scheme, click the box next to it and choose the scheme you have created.

Colour scheme chosen is one that is assigned called "planning presentation" (see attached) it reflects the chosen one in colour scheme?? Anything to do with materials?

Is the floor surface pattern set to a solid color? As a test, turn off Floors category.
