Color fill legend in 3D view

For a project I want to show the client an overall look of his building, combined with an 3D model. I would like to show my rooms in the 3D view, (color fill legend). Wouldn't it be great if a function came for this? Or is this implemented in the 2017 versions? 

 

I got a workaround for now, by changing the graphics per view I color in a room according to the legends colors. Problem: when I want a color changed in the color fill legend, I have to do manualy in the 3D view as well. Plus, the graphics overriding takes unecessary time.

this might be tedious but you could create a mass object for each room object.  you can then see the mass objects in a 3d view and change their visibility settings accordingly.

Not usable with Rooms and with your problem, but if you want to display anything in 3D in different colors without creating thousands of filters, you can Save As.. your project and create Worksharing. In that way you can assign different stuff to different Worksets and display them in different colours.

If this solved your issue, please Accept it as Solution help other forum users with similar issues to find answers easily.
