This idea has been created on the behalf of users from a French company.
Currently, the System color schemes feature is available only in plan views.
This limitation leads to inconsistencies between plan views and elevation views.
The only available workaround for now is to use the filters in the visibility / graphic overrides in order obtain a coherence between the different views.
The problem is that filters are not as convenient to use as the System color schemes and can become really time consuming to use for relatively big projects.
The idea would be then to make this feature (System color schemes ) available in any view types and not only for plan views.
On a more general note, what’s expected is to make the required changes to the program in order obtain some sort of consistencies between features available depending on the view type.
Possibilities offered should be the same no matter what is the view type selected (elevation versus plan views).
There’s currently multiple actions that can be done in plan views and not in elevation / section views, such limitation should be removed.
The idea in the following message express a similar thought.
