Solid fill, component in 2d

[marieHPAJL]

Dear Fabulous Helpers.

This is an easy one I think, but it is not easy to me:

I want my downlights to show up with solid red fill in 2d-views. That is not their real color of course, but as a graphic representation it would be nice.

I have been able (at some point) to make them a red circle, but not with solid fill. How do I do that?

Hi @marieHPAJL 

You can do it in several ways. If you want all the elements in that category to change color, it is recommended to do so with the Visibility / Graphics option.
If you want only one to be changed, you can do it with Overwrite graphics in view.
The following video shows both options:

Thank you JuanYusta! 

I have watched the video and done the same thing:).

Now, ideally I would like to color some lighting families or probably even certain family types.

Say I have a downlight family with two types, e.g. one that is 7W and one that is 9W.

If the 7W could be red and the 9W could be green, that would be perfect!  Is is feasible?

That's right @marieHPAJL , it's a longer step by adding filters.
I have recorded a video for you to see the step by step.
