In the last Revit Architecture class that I instructed at Ideate, Inc., a student had a great question that I thought I would share here.
We were discussing the topic of ‘Phasing’ in Revit, and the student was trying to figure out how to show the ceiling grid in the existing ACT ceiling ‘grayed out.’ Changing the Existing Phase Graphic Override to a gray color would only change the outline of the ceiling to gray, but what about the 2x4 ceiling tile pattern?
The answer was to change the color of the surface pattern in the Existing Phase Graphic Overrides to gray, see screen shot below:
