Revit 2023 Color Schemes overlap walls in Discipline Views

[mhalveland]

I've been using Revit since 2008 on the Architecture side.  Got into full time BIM Management in 2017.  Now I work for a full A&E firm and trying to help our engineers learn Revit.  I learned very quickly that the discipline views are not created equally and is very frustrating most of the time.  Functions that work in the Architecture views do not work in the MEP views.  One of those functions is Color Schemes.  I don't under stand why these are handled differently other than Autodesk has done something to the walls in MEP views.  I don't think this is an excuse for the Color Schemes to have a different behavior.  In the images below, the left is an electrical view, the right is an architecture view in the same project.  Is there some special setting for the MEP views to get this show like the architecture view?
I've made sure that area calculations go to the finish.  All of the views are set to the color schemes being set to background.  Any help in getting this to work properly would be greatly appreciated.

The issue is it does the same for architectural plan.

Set view to wireframe mode and you will see it gets to the middle of the wall

When color scheme is set to background and set to hidden line or shaded then you get it as you desire

However when you set the Discipline from Architecture to something like Plumbing Revit will make the walls transparent, resulting in screenshot 1.

So if you do not want to see it going into the walls you will need to have the discipline at architectural or coordination. You hacve to use different discpline because visual settings for discplines are hardcoded.

@L.Maas,

Thank you for confirming the behavior.  I don't like the behavior, nor agree with the behavior.  It basically makes the use of color schemes messy and unusable for MEP in their discipline views.  MEP shouldn't have to create additional views.

The "work-around" that we came up with is to create a coordination view with the color scheme and overlay it on a sheet with their discipline view.  The downside to this is that the color scheme blocks out any content within those rooms limiting the use of the color scheme.

I just wish there was a better solution and was hoping someone had one in the forums here.

Depending on what you want to see on your drawings you might look at the option to switch your discipline to coordination for your view, use color scheme and then use filters & graphics overrides to get in view what you want to see. If you convert it then to a view template it can be applied rather quickly.
