One of the partners where I work has set me the challenge of having our furniture layout coloured up.

I've already done the layout with tables of various size, and would like just about half of these coloured in orange, the other half, not coloured at all. To complicate things, some of the tables will need to be only half coloured.

 

IIf I was doing this in autocad, I would have made a dynamic block, put 2 hatches into it, then played around with visibility settings. In Revit however I have no idea how I would do this.

 

Any suggestions?

 

I've created the table as a family object using extrusions, from what I've seen it doesn't support having filled regions for example?

But it does support having materials - changing the materials would be one process but try this first.

In the view, goto VG and under furniture, over-ride the projection graphics to the color you want and solid fill.

WWHub,

Thanks but figured it out (attached) using a detail object for each half and also overall, with a colour fill and using a Vibility parameter to turn it on/off as required.

 

Bit of a silly way to do things I think, in Autocad the equivalent would be to always have to create everything as a block, still if that's the way it works...
