The 'System color Scheme' feature is great, but it has some color-printing pitfalls as I have described in another Ideas request;

The most recent pitfall brought to my attention has been the pickiness of the System Color Scheme (SCS) settings. The SCS only colors the duct or pipe associated to the system. As shown in the images below, it does not bring in the following features for coloring;
- Air Terminals
- Duct Accessories
- Duct Insulation
- Pipe Accessories
- Pipe Insulation
For each of the systems associated in the plans, we have to create a filter as shown below;
Of all my Filters, anything with a "C" at the beginning is just for color control of the elements listed above. this adds almost 50 filters between 3 disciplines. Having all of these filters adds weight to the model, and an unnecessary level of control for users that are already struggling to understand Revit.
This seems like something that System Color Schemes should associate with the connected system and color appropriately.
Autodesk please save us time, file size, and user confusion!
