Revit Wall Shading color in Paper Space

As stated in the title, I would like to ask how the Revit wall shading color exists just in selected paper space, and in the model space and other paper spaces will exist in other colors.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

The question you are asking is actually somewhat complicated.  There is not a simple answer, because this is not something Revit will do on its own.  What kind of walls are you wanting to have this information?

Can you elaborate on your query?  There is no paper space or model space in Revit.  Are you refering to CAD exports?

OK, Thanks for your all replies and sorry for my late in responding to your questions. I will try to elaborate my question; When drawing walls in Revit they will exist in a specified color similar to there exists in reality.

Maybe it will be better for me if I can choose a color that will let me feel better.

I know I can do that, but I need for my action to take place in specific layouts and in other layouts exists in different colors.

For example, in a certain layout, I've used several types of walls.

I would like to use many colors; each type of wall to existing in a specific color.

but in other drawings, I need all the different types of walls existing in a unique color.

You can override the wall colours for individual elements in a view (right click, and override graphics in view).  You can select a wall type, select all and override the graphics.

Another option is to create filters that pick up a wall type and override the colours of that wall type.  The advantage of this approach is that it can be used in other view, or in a view template.

Here is the photo explaining what I need, each color of the wall stands for a different aspect in it.

The solution accepted will be hard and NOT PROFESIONAL way of coloring each wall by itself.

I'm not sure which solution you accepted - I proposed two.  The second approach is preferable, as it can be used in other views or view templates, or even your project template.  I'm not sure what you think is unprofessional about it though.

Good evening.  I am having an issue where the wall are greyed out and the VG graphics overrdde does not seem to consistantly affect it.  Sometimes it does not override greyscale....sometimes it does.  It is the unpredictability of it that is driving me nuts.

I inherited a complex model from some big firm and it is like unsolving a 4 dimensional jenga.  I want to just tear it apart but ..... I have done that before and regretted it, so I am trying to understand this thing.

Between the Filters and the worksets and the View templates and the such and such and so forth... I am going banannas.

Problem: Inconsistant control of visibility graphics

 

Thank you

First guess is phase filters. Second guess is design options. Do you know if the project has phases or design options?
