Filled Region in Realistic Mode

Anonymous · ‎07-07-2017

Does anyone know how to make filled regions match the rest of the drawing whilst the drawing is in realistic mode?

The RGB numbers are the same and the colours match in consistent colour mode. However once realistic colour mode is selected they filled region does not also change.

Filled regions are not 3d elements so I can see why their colors are different. You may want to use thin masses (no thickness) and assign materials to them.

The realistic view must be applying shadows like in shaded view.

Where as consistent view has no shadows, and the filled region is not effected by the shadows.

Hi @Anonymous

Your drawing in Realistic mode is actually a render of the 3D model only showing the material finishes., whereas a filled region is a 2D tool that will not show up in realistic mode.

We have few users reports on similar issues in views whose visual style is Realistic, filled regions are displayed as solid black or solid white instead of the specified color and fill pattern. This has been resolved with the latest updates.

Use the Autodesk desktop app to install updates, or download updates from Autodesk Account.
Please see HERE for a similar issue on faulty display of colored solid fill hatch in realistic views.

Please verify version of Revit are you using?

Hi how to go about it ,

1-Make a copy of the section view toy are working on.

2- In the copied instance, put the display, on hidden lines ( adjust to the same scale as the copied from )

3- draw the filled region on the copied version

4- group select all by filter, then exclude the filled region you want to show. Now you should see only the filled region

5- place the hidden line view you've just created over the realistic view on the sheet.

Now you have a realistic view showing the filled region detail.

Did you ask the question? It is not about how to show filled regions in realistic views, it is about their appearance in such views.

In such a way, you will control the filled region appearance in the realist view.

How? The color of model elements depend on the lighting and shadow settings of the views. Elements with the exact same properties can have completely different appearances in a Realistic view. In what way would you control 2d filled region to match that?

Anonymous · ‎04-18-2018

Because you can't control filled region in a realistic view ( appears in black or white) that is a fact.
however I mentioned clearly it's a way to go around it. Ok ?

thanks

You didn't answer my question.

I was referring to the elevation or section views in realistic mode not the 3D views for rendering purposes.

were you can superpose one over the other, two views to create the appearance of a filled hatched region within the realistic 2D section or elevation view. that way, you could show a filled region in the realistic 2D mode if you need to.

ToanDN · ‎04-18-2018

I know what you referring to. And I didn't mention anything about 3d views in any of my replies, because, obviously filled regions don't show in 3d views. But sections and elevations in realistic visual style are affected by lighting and shadow settings as well. That is the point.

Anonymous · ‎04-18-2018

Never mentioned doing anything in the realistic view
Now did I ?!

ToanDN · ‎04-18-2018

Now did you what? The entire convestion is about matching filled regions appearance (in a different non realistic view as your suggestion) with model elements appearance in a realidtic view.

I am not question your workflow ot technique. I am questioning the result.

Anonymous · ‎04-18-2018

Yes, the results are as described above as well as the way to do it.

Hi @Anonymous

I see that you've mentioned Revit 2017, can you please confirm if you have the latest update (2017.2.3)?
