Colors in Revit
« on: May 06, 2025, 16:12:31 PM »
What are you guys using for service colors? We're currently just using filters, but it seems tedious and quite frankly annoying when one isn't set up and we need to apply it to every view, sheet, or template. We did find an add-on to make it a little better, but is there a better way of doing this?

We use filters and view templates. Filtering by service name contains.  For the odd job specific service one of our developers made a custom button to facilitate creating the filter. Then we "create template from view" to overwrite the template so it gets added to all views with that template. Little faster, not much.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is outside of developing your own plugin. One thing that has made this a little bit faster for us is having one view template with all services filters & colors that only controls that (uncheck all other options that can be controlled by the template). Then all other templates, we make sure to uncheck filter controls (not including specific templates that need different filters).

This way I am only dealing with one view template when a new service needs added, and it can be applied to any view that needs it because other view templates aren't competing with it for filter control.

We just use filters and have view templates in our file template so they are always set up on new projects.   we also use eVolve and they have a colorizer that I've played with but if you use it live, it will cause a lot of lag.
