    Changing the Color of Existing Spaces

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Designer
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Area: Architectural Design
      Subarea: Spaces

    Problem

    If you change the color assigned to a Space in Family/Parts editor, the color of existing Spaces is retained. Changing the Parts Definition of the existing Space in Catalog Editor does not change the color either.

    Solution

    You can follow one of the workflows below:

    1. Change the Color assigned to the Part Definition and use the “Update Space” tool with “Use Active Level and Symbology” checked.
    2. Create a new Part and change the Part Definition assigned to the Space. For multiple Spaces, use the Schedules dialog and edit the Part Definition values.

    The video below shows both workflows:
