Enhancement: Default colours for change type #9

Very handy tool, thanks! It would be great if we could set a different default colour for each change type.

mattmas commented 7 years ago

That's a good suggestion. What kind of control do you feel like would be acceptable?

a configuration file in the install folder?
a user-specific configuration file?
a dialog box in the user interface (saving to the user configuration file)?

andydandy74 commented 7 years ago

I don't think it would be necessary to expose that kind of setting in the UI as it's not something you would change on a daily basis. For deployments a non-user-specific config file would be best, I think.

@andydandy74 are you talking about the ability to see color in the dialog box as you scroll through the changes or control over changing red, green, blue for the color overrides of elements in a view?

andydandy74 commented 7 years ago

@thazell - I'm talking about the colours used for the AVF overlay

jessiepurcey commented 7 years ago

I'd also be interested in the ability to change the colors of the overlay.

In addition to, or even without that ability, it would be nice to see some indication of what the colors are in the UI. A simple key could suffice.

mattmas commented 7 years ago

I've added a settings.xml file to the install (one in each version of Revit) where you can configure the color values. The colors are now visible when you choose to color the view (you see them when you pick which change types to show). Version 1.0.6

Nice! Much appreciated.

This works great. Thanks for the quick update!
