New Visual Style - Black and White shaded

New Visual Style - Black and White shaded

I'd love to have a new visual style added that is similar to consistent colour but overrides everything to be greyscale.

This would reduce the need to override elements individually per view and allow flexibility when that can't be accomplished while retaining a coloured elevation sheet. It would allow for greater control for printing since in our area on-site, builders want to use a black and white copy of the elevations but printing the coloured elevations by changing the printer settings looses a lot of the control over the final product and the hidden line style doesn't allow for quickly understanding the elevations.

While I have questions about how often this would be useful (hidden line works fine for us), this seems easy to implement and doesn't add much clutter to the interface.

 

I once did an exterior elevation with different colors of stucco.  On the construction document sheet (Hidden Line view), each different material had a foreground stucco fill and a background solid fill, and the background fill changed shade for each color.  For the colored elevations in the project (Consistent Colors view), I had to override the wall category to hide background hatches so that the background fills didn't cover up the surface color of the material.

 

I would probably still use this workflow even with the proposed "Consistent Grayscale Colors" option for fine-grained control over contrast, but "Consistent Grayscale Colors" would give me something workable much much faster with fewer gymnastics.

Thanks! I will give your work-around a try in the mean-time.

I've been trying to find a solution to this for the last several weeks and to me it seems like such an obvious feature when the need for a coloured and greyscale version is so common in the industry. Autocad made this specific process much quicker as we would just override the layer colours in the viewports of black and white elevation sheets

We use the paint tool in our workflow since we are often doing concrete walls with different paint patterns which is another reason why having to just click one button and get greyscale seemed much more straightforward.
