Color in glass

benjaminrossetti — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 19:46:18 GMT

I really like the look of the attached image, which I got from an Autodesk sketchy lines tutorial site (link below). Problem is, I cannot figure out how to get the glass to have a blue transparency like the image (my glass has a blue shade according to Material settings). The site suggests using Hidden Line as the Visual Style, but that style seems to make everything in the model grayscale. I could accomplish this (with some effort) in Photoshop, but the Autodesk site seems to do it purely within Revit, which would be handy for quick changes. Any advice is much appreciated.

That's it! Thanks for the direction Constantin. I see now that doing it through Object Styles is the way to bypass the inability to do it with VG. It made changes in other views, but I suppose I can play around with some view settings or just undo the Object Style change after getting the image exported. I appreciate the help!
