Hidden Diffusers Color

[Anonymous]

Hoping someone can help me out with this graphical issue I'm having. In the attached picture I have several diffusers that are hidden under ductwork. I'd like these to show up the same color as the unhidden diffusers. I don't know why the ductwork doesn't change when it's hidden, but the diffusers do. This helps with printing when we export the model back to cad. If we didn't have to do this I wouldn't worry trying to change them.

Is the image from Revit or from the exported DWG?  If in Revit, diffusers hidden below ductwork shouldn't change color, only line pattern.  If it is from DWG, you can change the DWG export settings to put them in the same color.  By default the diffusers hidden lines get put on layer A-DETL, change the mapping to a new layer such as M-DETL and then set the layer color to match the diffuser layer (M-HVAC-CDFF) then you are set.

Hey ToanDN,

Thanks for the reply, but this issue is within revit. I think part of the problem is that I downloaded the family from Titus and didn't create it in house. There's are a bunch of nested families within it. I've tried to go in a track down the problem, but so far haven't had any luck.
