The ability to have multiple revision cloud family types so that we can assign different colored clouds to the different cloud families. We are using multiple colored cloud schemes to track scope changes that are all part of the same revision. It would be nice if this was integrated and not an "override element" method.
This is one of those annoying things that have upset Revit users for years. Take a page from Adobe and "Just Do It!" Votes count! Please add yours as Autodesk does not always think for itself.
Providing the ability to edit a Revision Cloud System family would allow almost all complaints about Revit's revision clouds to be resolved including the following:
Uniform arcs
Difference sized arcs for different situation, e.g, large arcs for revision to entire details or large areas and small arcs for text revisions.
Different colors for various purposes, e.g., different revision sequence number, different person making revision, or status of the revision.
Different lineweights for large, medium and small areas, and to allow prior revision clouds to have lighter weights for those that show prior revisions.
Agreed. My biggest whine is #3/#4 above, as I want to gray out past revisions so that CURRENT revisions are bold in comparison as done in AutoCad for 20+ years. The only way to do this now is individual BY ELEMENT editing. Um, really?
Its interesting because it is possible to add a subcategory for Revision Clouds and change the line type, but there is no where to actually apply the secondary type so you are left with only being able to use the default type.
It would be nice to be able to set a linetype in the Revisions dialogue so all revisions of that number are the same or have it just set to <default> and then you can change it in the view by selecting the line itself.
If the linetype is set in the Revision dialogue then it will be greyed out if you select the cloud in a view or sheet.
We should be able to change the color of the clouds for each revision number. Also, consider tag color, too. Here's a dynamo solution that uses a brute-force override to accomplish it, but it's not really a viable solution due to speed and the fact you have to run it every time you add a bubble. https://www.bimpure.com/blog/revit-dynamo-tutorial-colored-revision-clouds
Why colored clouds are helpful:
Our architectural office prints in color as standard. Color print pricing is the same as black-and-white in our office. Finally, contractors will appreciate looking for the color of a revision, rather than fishing through a bunch of black-and-white clouds to find it's number tag.
