Description

Color Parameters is a plugin in Toolbox that groups elements in your Revit model based on their parameter values. Think of it as a combination of Schedules and View Filters, but easier to use.

Due to new requirements for BIM models, the models now typically contains a lot more information than three, five or ten years ago. Color Parameters is a two-step process that allows you to present your model content exactly how you need in a presentation, a meeting or your very own QA of your model.

Tutorial

Use the demo file (House 1.rvt) to try Color Parameters.

Open the 3D View named "2. Color Parameters". Go to Toolbox -> Utilities -> Color Parameters. Now you need to know the name of the parameter that you want to analyze in your project (category, type, level...)

Color Parameters also allows you to select only the elements that you are looking for inside that parameter.

You can even keep the display colors created by Color Parameters while you navigate in your model to compare different parameters. You can clear the color values later.

Be aware that you always write the name and filter of the parameter correctly, because otherwise Color Parameters will not return any result.

Color Parameters can also highlight elements that contain specific values. To do this, type the name of the parameter and in the filter add the values that the plugin has to look for. To add several values follow this syntax: value1;value2;value3... Separate each value with a semicolon and do not include spaces.
