Identify and/or highlight different wall types in colour in a DV

Hello,

I am trying to find a way, similar to Revit, where I can show wall types in different colour. In Revit, a WALL FILTER is added with an override.

The above image shows what I am trying to achieve you can see that different colour has been applied to different wall types, visible in different views.

How do I achieve this in OBD without the need of creating extra drawings? The only way I can think of is to add the fill colour manually in the DV, The downfall, the solid fill will not change when the actual wall is changed/moved in the 3D model.

PS: I am struggling to understand why OBD can't do simple things and why there are always extra steps required to achieve something?

  • Hi Nasir,

    I have made a small video of how the colour of the walls can be changed as per your requirement. 



    HTH.

  • Hi Shreya,

    Thank you for the video but that is not my question. It is not about applying parts. I need to highlight particular wall types in the design. In my example you can see a floor plan showing colour and no colour.

    So, I want OBD to show me all Internal-Block-Walls-100 in RED on the Ground Floor in my drawing (2D Output). How do I do that? In Revit, I apply a filter to Internal-Block-Walls-100, so, the filter only will lookup wall styles named Internal-Block-Walls-100 and highlight them in the model. 

  • Hi Nasir,

    Please take a look at Display Rules, these can be used to resymbolise elements based on element properties, for instance CONNECT Edition - Display Rules - Highlighting Demolitions , this may be what you need.

  • Isn't the OBD-way of doing this to create new Parts ?

    Especially if you want it both in 3d and 2d.

  • Hi Thomas,

    Generally yes. Display Rules offer the ability to resymbolise ranges of objects whose parts differ to visually indicate chosen properties.
