Remarks

There could be at most three [!:Autodesk::Revit::DB::ColorFillScheme] applied in a view: one for spatial elements (rooms, zones, spaces and areas), one for pipes and one for ducts.

Notes:

  • There's at most one scheme activated for all spatial categories.
  • For area plan view, the activated spatial scheme category must be OST_Areas and has the same [!:Autodesk::Revit::DB::AreaScheme] with this view if it is not used as a template.
  • To clear one of the above three schemes, use InvalidElementId as the parameter of this function.
  • To get list of element categories supportted to be colored in this view, use SupportedColorFillCategoryIds .
  • To check whether an specified ElementId could be applied to this view, use CanApplyColorFillScheme(ElementId, ElementId) .
