Color Schemes
Use color schemes to color and apply fill patterns to rooms and areas. You can apply color schemes to floor
plan views and section views based on a specific value or range of values. You can apply a different color
scheme to each view.
Colors schemes can be useful for graphically illustrating categories of spaces. For example, you can create a
color scheme by room name, area, occupancy, or department. If you want to color rooms in a floor plan by
department, set the Department parameter value for each room to the necessary value, and then create a
color scheme based on the values of the Department parameter. You can then add a color scheme legend
to identify the department that each color represents.
You can apply color schemes based on any parameter value for a room or area. You specify parameter values
in the Element Properties dialog.
The following image shows a plan view with a color scheme that uses a specific value defined for each room
(for example, Office and Storage as values of the room’s Department parameter).
