More control over system override (color / line style)
System override is great, it is always sad to see that cable trays and conduits don't have it. If I remember well, it was introduced in Revit 2013. Filter management was a pain ! But, it is still painfull to see how limited you control over it is.
Issues :
- When your client want to make some render with your model, it all displays with the same material. It's pretty ok to get all duct within a system with same galvanised steel but it is not to get Air Terminal, accesories and mechanical equipments the same way.
- When people start working on Revit. They always see line style override and say «Great» then they see that it override axis, borders and insulations…
Ideas to solve it :
- Be able to desactivate system override by view/view template.
- Be able to choose which objects categories are overriden by system type.
- Be able to choose in family parameter if the object is overriden.
- Be able to choose independantly override on axis, borders and insulation by system type.
- Be able in system type to override material only in shaded mode with appearance remaining «By category».
