Object Styles and Door Family Changes When Saving View to Separate File

[loren_routh]

I am saving individual floors to separate .rvt files from a master model.  Several door families change in the new saved file.  In one door family, two door subcategories changed line color to Green where they were  once black.  I tried the filesave in two completely different models from different architects and the same thing happened, they were totally different families that were effected.  None of the families exist in my ProgramData library.  Also, it looks like one of the offset parameters also changed.  So strange.  Is there another place to look?  I have read some people get their families mixed up, but I see no indication of that.

I have attached some images before and after and am using Revit 2022.1.3.  Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,

L

If you save view to separate file, Revit may use default OOTB setting. You may want to use transfer project standard and apply them to the newly saved file.

That makes sense, but I couldn't find any OOTB settings that were Lime Green.  I'll see if the Transfer Project Standard works.  Thanks, L

When you create new project. Select none

When you open the visibility and graphic, it shows door come as blue and green

Wow, that's dastardly! Why would they do that?
But, Transfer Project Standards worked. Thanks!

No problem. I believe this has existed since the first version of Revit. When you use the door family template, it shows the door as blue and green. So when you set the project template as none, it inherits the same color as the family door template. I do agree Autodesk should change this to black instead of color door.
