When I select an object, it turns blue. That's really silly. When I select an object, I surely want to observe it. How can I observe it when it's turned blue like this?
As shown in the picture, I want to adjust the UV of the texture. When I select the fill pattern and am about to adjust the position of the UV, I can no longer preview the texture. Incidentally, the function of adjusting the UV really needs to be updated. Also, the texture color adjustment system is really not user-friendly. Why do I have to use the method of dyeing when I want to change the color of the texture? And I really don't quite understand how to change a colored texture into a black-and-white one in Revit, or directly change it to any color I want.
You do not need to select the element to modify the pattern or texture. Simply
No components turning blue on selection 🙂

sometime that blue object helps communicate between parties better, as here when I said to my guy, look, the cooktop s ok there in the corner.
The color that is applied when an element is selected can be changed, I use Red and leave pre-selection highlighting blue (File > Options > Colors). If a selected element does not change its appearance in some way how can we tell when something is selected and isn't?

Can you tell us how, Steve. I meant as a default setting.
@yes_and_no File ribbon tab > Options button > Colors frame opens the dialog you see in the reply from @RSomppi

By contrast, I think the highlighting methods of these software are more advisable.
Try posting it in the Ideas forum.
