API for Color Schemes and ability to control RGB colors

[Anonymous]

As Advised @RTCEUR 2016 and Noted at Revit API session. I was asked to submit Revit Idea under Revit API.

wish list item CF-3558 [API wish: create colouring scheme with full access to control RGB colors]

original post

Hi,

As adviced at RTC 2015 and noted at Revit API session  I am starting process for requesting new feature.#

What whole world of MEP is missing: Coloring Scheme and ability to control RGB colors.

Coloring Scheme - we can now place sheets, tags do all automted task but Coloring Scheme we need to place manually! please help us

RGB colors - automated color schemes select random and very often dark, Black ones which means that after printing we can not see anyting. Having full control over colors and scheme we could use Macro/ Dynamo to automate process and have full control over this subject.

Sorry for extremely slow response to the question above. Unfortunately any new APIs will not be backwards compatible with older versions of Revit due to changes in how element IDs are processed. I can't comment on what release it would become available, but I do encourage involvement in the Revit Preview (beta program). It can be accessed via email to revit.preview.access@autodesk.com or via the ADN portal for ADN members.

I'd like to suggest the ability to assign model fills to the color schemes instead of just drafting fills.

adding my vote, a much-needed feature.

@Keith_Wilkinson Your description above is exactly what I've said to our internal Revit trainers: The palette setup is backwards with regard to assigning colors and parameters. The colors should be set, and lockable, and the names or other parameters should be editable. I'm only 6-months into using Revit, but found quickly that it cannot be used for creating block plans using our company's 20 color palette. So we abandon Revit and go to BlueBeam Revu or other software where we can control the colors; so so time consuming and frustrating.

Hope this feature will be available soon in Revit API. I find that 4 years waiting time is to much. Please implement it ASAP.

We are pleased to say that this has been implemented in Revit 2022!

Thank you Kimberly.

This is great news. As I am living in Spain I certainly have to make reference to Don Quijote who was fighting against windmills. Good to see that sometimes users get heard.

Special thanks to mdengusiak ‎who initiated this post and to all the supporters who strongly asked for this really helpful feature.

@Anonymous: Take up the operability of the SCHEDULES now. They urgently need to get out of the Stone Age.

After 6 years I can say....

"API for Color Schemes and ability to control RGB colors"  ---- DONE!

[Keith_Wilkinson]

Why is there a host of implemented Revit Ideas being changed back to 'gathering support'?

[a.bejenaru]

This should be closed, yet this has been implemented in 2022.

@a.bejenaru 

There is an issue with the forums. The Implemented status vanished from several boards. We are working with support to get them restored.
