Revit LT - In place wall tool issue

[RoddyAT]

Hi Guys, I have another issue that you might be able to help me with. Please see attached image.

I used the "In-place wall" tool in order to model the raised reveals of the windows. Then I managed to change the colour from grey to a more realistic yellow colour. Now I can't seem to be able to do the same thing for the other "grey" reveals. I have tried override graphics but they still remain grey.

Also, is there an easy way of forming the curved cills using Wall:Sweep, as this wall is curved in plan? Thanks.

Im sorry, Im just not used to Revit LT.

I will be plotting the elevations at 1:100 so that is what I have the the elevations set up as.

Also, when I went to edit the door family, I set it here also at 1:100.

I then went to manage\additional settings\fill patterns. I selected the parallel lines pattern.

Now I get the error message

An error occurred in family "Double_Round_top_Wood_Door_16325" and was automatically resolved, but may require review by the family creator.

Error Information:
"The constraints of the sketch defining the highlighted element cannot be satisfied."
Error Resolution: Delete Element(s)

Is it something to do with the door family I wonder?

The Surface Pattern has nothing to do with Fill Patterns under Additional Settings. The Surface Pattern that your Door is using is coming from the Material that you assigned to your Door.  Under the Graphics tab of that Material is Surface Pattern.  The pattern that you assigned to your Door is a Drafting hatch pattern.  You need to use a Model hatch pattern if you want the spacing between the vertical lines to scale with View scale.    For instance, if each line represents the abutting edges of a 102mm wide panel, then enter 102mm for Line Spacing.  You don't need to do any mathematical conversion. Just enter the real-world width and Revit will scale it properly based on View scale.  

With regards to the error message; I have no clue what you did to cause Revit to through it.  But it is totally unrelated to the Surface Pattern.  If it happens again, and you are unable to figure it out on you own, then start a new thread.  One topic per thread as per Forum rules. 

Cheers.

You solved it again for me. I'm very grateful for all your help.

Sorry If I broke the forum rules, my bad.

No doubt I'll have other issues again shortly so I'll start a new thread in that case.

All the best for now.
