So I have created two project parameters for Rooms.  Both are "yes/no" paremeter types.  Now, I want to have one color scheme that highlights all the rooms from Parameter 1 red that are "Yes", and all the ones from Parameter 2 yellow that are "yes", then if both rooms are "yes", do some new color.

Is this possible?   

I am able to make a individual color schemes for each, but I can only apply one at a time it seems.

Thanks.

I don't see any way to do this.   There is no filter application available for schemes.

Can I do a VG Filter on a plan view where I override the rooms coloring based on a parameter?

Hello!!! Have you even looked at filter capabilities?  Where do you see a control for room color there?

In fact I have been attempting this for a few hours now.  And there's a control for rooms in there.  I can get close, but for some reason if two rooms are both "yes", then the coloring is based on the filter order.  So i tried to create another filter that encompassed both, but once I did that, it would never do yellow one.

See attached.

Here's a screen shot of the filter sort of working on the plan view.

Wow - I missed that one....it's been awhile I guess since I did this.

Do the combo first then the other two are 'equal' for the asbestos and 'does not equal' for the lead or vice versa

So when I do the combo first, the Asbestos (yellow) won't show up at all.  Doesn't matter if it is in the 2nd or 3rd spot behind the combination.  And the Lead shows up either way.   What could be causing this?

Think I just answered my own question.  So in order for any of this to work, I have to have a color scheme in place.  So depending on what color scheme is in place, is the one color that shows up.  

Anyone have any solutions?

OK, sorry about all the posts... But I figured it out.

So, to make it work, I made a "Blank" color scheme.  I just used the areas, and turned all the coloring to white.  So all the rooms are white.  Then when I do the filter and overrides, it seems to work perfectly.

Sorry for wasting time.
