This idea has been created on the behalf of users from a French company.
Currently, the System color schemes feature is available only in plan views.
This limitation leads to inconsistencies between plan views and elevation views.
The only available workaround for now is to use the filters in the visibility / graphic overrides in order obtain a coherence between the different views.
The problem is that filters are not as convenient to use as the System color schemes and can become really time consuming to use for relatively big projects.
The idea would be then to make this feature (System color schemes ) available in any view types and not only for plan views.
On a more general note, what’s expected is to make the required changes to the program in order obtain some sort of consistencies between features available depending on the view type.
Possibilities offered should be the same no matter what is the view type selected (elevation versus plan views).
There’s currently multiple actions that can be done in plan views and not in elevation / section views, such limitation should be removed.
The idea in the following message express a similar thought.
The most recent pitfall brought to my attention has been the pickiness of the System Color Scheme (SCS) settings. The SCS only colors the duct or pipe associated to the system. As shown in the images below, it does not bring in the following features for coloring;
Air Terminals
Duct Accessories
Duct Insulation
Pipe Accessories
Pipe Insulation
For each of the systems associated in the plans, we have to create a filter as shown below;
Of all my Filters, anything with a "C" at the beginning is just for color control of the elements listed above. this adds almost 50 filters between 3 disciplines. Having all of these filters adds weight to the model, and an unnecessary level of control for users that are already struggling to understand Revit.
This seems like something that System Color Schemes should associate with the connected system and color appropriately.
Autodesk please save us time, file size, and user confusion!
I was wondering if it is possible to make the pipe/duct/color fill legend enabled in 3D. Some of our customers have stated that they would like to see this during VR walk-troughs/3D views and it would be a very near feature to have.
Currently, users are unable to use a pipe color fill legend in anything other than a plan view. When detailing vertical piping, it is necessary to use colors to identify piping as you would in a plan view. The current work around is to use filters. Curious as to why this isn't possible and I am hoping it becomes an option in the near future.
