Calculated value in Color Fill Legends

Calculated value in Color Fill Legends

We recently got Calculated values in Tags.

I would like to be able to do a Calculated value in a Color Fill Legend.

As an example, I would be able to color rooms that have, "(Actual Airflow / Specified Airflow) < 1" Red.

Yes, Love the Idea!

In a similar vein, it would be great if Color Fills could actually relate to the model better. So for example, if you could assign a color to a particular room parameter, and have it be consistent across multiple color fill schemes, it would make the Color Fills much more useful!

This would be a much desired feature.

Yes please. It would also be nice to be able to include combination fields.

 

I know I can kind of do this in schedule, or it can be done if we create a new shared parameter and fill out the value manually or with Dynamo, but these options are not as useful or robust. Some fields that would be nice to visualize:

 

Specified Supply Air/Square foot

(nearly anything quantifiable)/Square foot

Net airflow into/out of a space

A combination of temperature set point values (min - max)

A combination of a few different space classification data

 

These are mostly HVAC examples, but I'm positive there are some creative users from other disciplines that could make use of such a feature.

 

Also note that this has come up on other forums:

@Ricard_S, thanks for the original post. Are you able to edit the subject to include the phrase "color scheme"? That might help attract more traffic.
