In the new plan we add the new exterior finish that display as white over the existing grey wall.
A grey filled wall on revit floor plan.
One containing the exterior finish the other containing the rest of the wall.
If i create a filter to show existing and new revit considers everything from phase 1 phase 6 to be existing.
To prevent the floor or slab from being visible in plan view you need to adjust the bottom clip so that it is more than 4 feet above the floor or slab and set the view depth so that it does not include any part of the floor or slab.

Architects like to show walls solid filled and you can do this using the coarse filled parameter inside of a revit wall type.
Revit offers a lot of control over what is displayed.
In the choose space type and color scheme dialog select the space type and color scheme and click ok.
If you had a masonry wall you might want the cut pattern to reflect that.
But i only want to gray out the walls of the existing building.
Place the color fill legend anywhere in the drawing area to describe the color scheme used in the view.
Material patterns can be a lot of fun as i show in the screenshot to the right.
Hi all still working on the schematic design and we want our existing walls to be shaded grey and the new walls to be shaded black.
I then went into v g to override the cut pattern to solid grey.
I ve got the plans phased and on the existing phase the existing walls are filled black but on the new they show up as outlined.
In this case you should model two separate walls.
The new walls now show up heavy black outline with grey fill.
One option to accomplish this would be to create existing wall types and those could have a gray solid fill.
The issue is when a revit model.
