Excelente aplicacion, muchas gracias al equipo que ha trabajado en ella.
Gracias Carlos!
When will a version be ready for Revit 2022?!
Hi Ian, We do not support the app anymore. The code source is now available on Github. With access to the code, you can build the app for revit 2022
Hi, if any one upgraded for 2022 could you please send it or tell me the way?? I saw the code but couldn't figure it out :( it is much needed, what a loss :(

Hi, the plugin is amazing, but I have a dificulty. How can I define color transparency? The Mate Color overrides the lines (for exemple: When I define a color by casework type, and I have 3 equals cabinets in a row, it overrides the lines that defines each one). With the transparency solution will resolve this problem and the drawings get much more beautiful.

This is a great idea in theory - can it apply colors to rooms based on parameters?
It also is in practice. Just turn on the Interior Fill subcategory in the room subcategories and it will do the trick!
I use Revit 2019 and 2020 with Windows10.
I cannot select multiple category with hold Ctrl.
Hi, This is a known bug of the latest version and we are planning on getting it fixed.
Same problem on Revit 2019, did you finally find a solution?
not yet @Manuel De Gea
The add in is spectacular! Just have one comment. .I want to select a category and than only apply a color splash to select family types. Is there a way to do this?
This is not possible with the addin only, unless you filter out other family types from your view through revit V/G
Colour Splasher doesn't work on Revit links.
Can this be fixed? Thanks
Rob
Color Splasher uses the "override graphics in view" function of Revit. This doesn't work for links. So it's unlikely that a tool will support this any time soon.
Thank you for your helpful app. But I have a small problem. When I use on 3d View, I lost my element boundary line, element become smoothly with the color. Could you help me with this. Thank you.
Hi, like mentioned in previous comments below from Glae Cordova, This is something that you can tweak. The whole 'background' / 'foreground' hatch did mess a bit the way we handled graphic overrides. We have that in our backlog to be fixed but I do not have any ETA for you right now
great tool for visual cheching
Is there any one can help why it only color the edge line? How to fix this?
I have the same problem. Any recommendations?
Hi, The latest version fixes your issue, it was due to a change in Revit API when they introduce the double hatch capability
check the material for that item - switch background to foreground and vice versa. Play around with that.
Waiting for the Revit 2020 update ! Thanks
Done ;)
Great for auditing walls, doors, etc! Saves so much time instead of creating hundreds of filters.
This is great addin, great job!
It would be really usefull to refine app with additional option to apply solid hatch surface pattern while overriding element graphics - therefore a result will be much better in case when material surface pattern is set to "none".
Hi, The latest version fixes your issue, it was due to a change in Revit API when they introduce the double hatch capability
very useful!
Still being used over the years! Did you finally developed a function for the creation of keys/legends based on parameter values, to be easily placed on sheets? Although now that I think about it, possible with Dynamo somehow using colour override RGB values, need to think about it...
Thanks
Cheers
Its only working on projection lines in revit 2019.
I experience the same. May I ask if you find any solution for this?
Hi, The latest version fixes your issue, it was due to a change in Revit API when they introduce the double hatch capability
省去了频繁的过滤器创建、高程颜色过度、还能对电系统操作，很强大的插件
super application par contre dans une prochaine version il faudrait que les faces soient coloriées aussi comme les arêtes.

Please 2019 A.S.A.P.
Fantastic plugin! I have one question: how does this plugin work? There are no color filters or temporary overrides?
Hi Andreas. Thank you for the great review! You can find the user guide under the following link: http://bimone.com/UserGuide/Color%20Splasher%20-%20User%20Guide.pdf
Add version for Revit 2019, please.
And maybe option for change multiple color at once.
Hi, What about v2018?
Hi Dawid, please note that a new version of the app has been published. This new version is compatible with Revit 2018.
2018 EXCELLENT !!!
Any update for 2018 Please let us know what is happening?????
Hi Ben, sorry about the delay. Please note that a new version of the app has been published. This new version is compatible with Revit 2018.
Is this application no longer being maintained? I was hoping to see a Revit 2018 version...thanks.
We are working on the upgrade as we speak!
Hi David, please note that a new version of the app has been published. This new version is compatible with Revit 2018.
Thanks @Tommy!
Merci beaucoup. Trés utile
Merci pour ton commentaire Mussie. Nous l'apprécions beaucoup !
Para cuando estará lista la versión 2018? Muchas gracias
Hi Maria, please note that a new version of the app has been published. This new version is compatible with Revit 2018.
Very useful, however, if there is a way to not have to re apply if an object is changed or added it would be close to perfect. the save schema works well in the interim.
no 2018 version coming out?
We are working on the upgrade right now.
Hi Richard, please note that a new version of the app has been published. This new version is compatible with Revit 2018.
throws error, says "Please select worksheet", and cant fid any
Why do expect this tool to import? This tool is for manipulating objects in your model.
Hi Alex, this is a tool that allows you to graphically visualize and verify the information in a model. It filters, selects and colors elements based on the values of a defined parameter to let you visualise if there are errors or a lack of information. User first selects the desired category, then selects a parameter and finally, sets colors for each value of this parameter. You comment is probably referring to our Excel Export / Import tool and in this case, please note that it is mandatory to use the Export feature at first and let the add-in generate its own fields. Importing a man-made Excel file will not work as Revit will only answer to a specific structure of data. Once the file has been exported, you can only modify existing data in the fields generated during the export. Adding lines/columns will not work as they won't be recognized by Revit. However, you can fill-in empty fields as long as they belong to a line/column that was generated by the export tool.
This add-in works lika a charm!
Dear Espen, thank you for your positive feedback and excellent rating!
Our team love this apps, but pls update 2016 version soon. Thank you.
Hi 迦堡, The addin has been updated to support Revit 2015, 2016 & 2017. An update will also be released when Revit 2018 will be available. Thanks for the positive feedback, we're glad that you like it!
Really need this for 2016. You mentioned fall of 2015 for the new release. Winter is just a few weeks away!
Hi Brian, sorry for the late reply. The addin has been updated to support Revit 2015, 2016 & 2017. An update will also be released when Revit 2018 will be available. Thank you for your feedback!
Any news when the release 2016 will be published?
Sure am missing this in 2016 - do not plan on updating? Could we please see this shortly in 2017 - color splasher works much better and quicker than playing around with filters. I like to distinguish my wall types by coloring them. Thank you
Really a great addition to Revit along with the other BIM One tools! The features in Color Splasher are really easy to use. It would be great to have a way to convert schemata to/from Filters. I'd also really like to use Color Splasher in Revit 2016 (as well as Export/Import Excel and NWC Batch Exporter).
Very nice addon
the addin is really great (Y) I wonder if you can add hatch patterns besides the colors Also can you add a feature to control the revit links; coloring its model elements and so on, that will help in coordination.
Can you give me a valid e-mail to contact you ? I sent a mail to the support (support@bimone.com) two weeks ago and haven't got an answer yet !!
Hi Noran, sorry for the delay. The support@bimone.com is valid but exceptionally, I received your mail in my Spam box. Here's my answer: - We didn't discuss about patterns while developping the app but I will check that with the DEV team. - We can't override Revit links by element but I agree it would be a great feature to add if the API allows it in the next versions. Best regards Thank you for the good rating! Much appreciated!
Hi, still no way to apply the addin to linked model elements ?? could it work the same way as filters ??
This is a fantastic way to quickly do some QA. Color things by the parameter you want to check, or hand pick colors for some specific parameter values you want to highlight. Used in a 3d view with unrelated things hidden works great.
Please add automatic update color.
