Hello all,
I am a newer user with Revit. I've only been using it for around 4-5 months now. I encountered an error on a project I am having trouble resolving. I began a new project a custom template. The previous person who had my position had a template set up, so I am using it. I linked the MEP model from the engineers. Then I batch copied over the VAVs. Unfortunately, this gave me a graphical error I am unable to resolve. The elements that were copied over appear black and white. I am speaking specifically about the VAV's I copy/monitored. But any floor drains or other loadable families that were copied, have this same graphical setting, that I do not know how to change.
When I draw duct to or from the VAV, sometimes the VAV is added, and it takes the system color. Adding pipe to the hydronic hot water supply and return connectors will turn the element black again. And I understand that, because now it's part of multiple systems with multiple colors. However, I then, at the requirement of my BIM execution plan, edited the families of the VAV units to include a red-transparent clearance box. The clearance box only appears the correct color in 3d - shaded. Is this working as intended? You can see in the floor plan view that the box for clearance is colorless.
