Hi,
Is it possible to change test color like this within the same text family so you can have multiple colors at once? I know how to change to color for the of the entire family but it isn't the best for note taking. Is there a plug in that exists that allows you to do this? Revit has a very basic text editor and I don't know why you can't just highlight some text and change its color like you can with most things, like this text box.
Not that I'm aware of, but Revit's not really meant for stuff like this. If you had a bunch of random colors all over the place, then you'd have to go and manually change all of them if that time came. The whole idea of types is that you make bulk changes at once. So you create a type that is used for one type of note, and use that where needed. Then if you ever need to change that, you only change it once and it updates everywhere.
I'm just messing with you. That's an image imported into Revit. You can't do it natively without a bunch of work overlapping different Text Types. Been there; done that. I think I would prefer root canal surgery over doing it again.

Actually, it could be a bone fide solution. Try it yourself.
Maybe use color filled regions to highlight instead of changing text colors.
Or create word document, export to PDF and place the PDF in Revit.
If it is in text box instead of colours make use of ALL CAPS, bold , underline, italic and things between [brackets] or a combination. If you want to bring more focus to the textbox you could use textstyle with particular fontcolour (or border around textbox) indicating that are comments in that box, then the text in bold/italic/... is the comment itself
After the comment is implemented you can replace the textstyle to your default.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
