Color coding a whole bunch of elements

Anonymous — Fri, 29 Jan 2016 21:44:03 GMT

Hello,

I currently have the following task at hand: I've got to create a "production plan" for a building, based on a Revit model, the plan would show what gets done each day.

The major issue? Turns out the plan has to be color coded. So things that get done day 1 are blue, day 2 are green, day 3 green with line hatch, and so on for about 25 days.

And I have to do that for beams, columns, and floors. Separate sheets: one shows beams, one shows floors, one shows columns

Assigning the day isn't that much work, just added a project parameter called sequence_day, and numbered each element.

But the colors? That's where I'm stuck. The solution that I've come up with is to use a view filter and view templates to transfer the conditions from one view to the next. But doing that would require defining 75 different filter conditions (beams day 1, beams day 2, beams day 3, columns day 1, columns day 2, etc).

And no, I can't just tag each element. They want color coded, not numbered (seems there's somewhat of a reading impairment among the final users).

Anyone have any ideas, that wouldn't involve doing 75 filters?

make common filter for beams, colums and floors and the filters will be only 25

Only problem is that in my case I have some foundations that have structural framing elements, so a common filter would color them all at the same time, which is not what I'd like. But nevertheless, it's something I'll keep in mind...
