Filter elements by Revit color filters

[M_I_V_A_]

Hello folks, hope everything is fine over your lifes. 

I'm checking and coordinating some schools projects in which each MEP, Structural, Electrical, Landscape and Architecture model must come with their proper Revit Color Filter from the .RVT file of course. 

The thing here is that I haven't been able to find a way of how to filter the elements that do not have a color filter set up in Revit yet. Also it has to considere all kind of elements 

We can find foundations without colors, conduits, trees, slabs, columns, whatever. 


Would love to read some ideas in order to achieve these kind of searching, 

Thanks in advance!

The iConstruct add in might be useful

depending on if your going to be doing a lot of work for this client (i.e. have the budget for it 😉) or not. its time consuming, but i would probably make Search Sets for each color grouping and then use the Appearance Profiler. 

It could be a lot of work to get it all set up, but if this is going to be a regular thing it might be worth it. It can also helps when the Revit model is not set up correctly, the Search Sets can help find things.

Thanks @alan.johnson7YLND  and @hmensell for both ideas, sadly I don't think those work. I do not want to establish a new color filter in Naviswork. I'm looking for filter everything that came from Revit with a Color Filter, regardless the color in it.

" Search Sets for each color grouping and then use the Appearance Profiler." that phrase is exactly what I don't know how to do, how to filter those colors that come from Revit?

For example: all these elements came with color from revit:

the color assignment that comes in from the Revit model is usually tied to a material.

You cold set up a Search Set to find all "Items" with a "Material" set that "Contains"  "Default". Default... is the material all items get, by default 😊. 

Pick the Select All option, right click on your screen and Invert Selection. 

This should give you all items with a material, other than default, assigned.

You could also try Revit Material, Color, Defined....

Hello again, 

well thye colors in revit had been establish by filtering all the elements and placing a color in the 3D view not by material, so it's not an information that belong to the element neither the item:

Anyway of filtering by the "color filter view" or something like that?

Interesting, i didn't think a View Filter overrides came thru when importing into Navisworks. Ill have to look into that....
