We're doing an area that's going to have about 75 different pieces of equipment in it.
We want to create a View using something sort of like a Color Scheme, but using Equipment instead of Rooms.
I've got a Specialty Equipment family that we'll make different Type for the different sizes, and that has another parameter for the Description.
Next task is to create a Filter for each of the Descriptions and then apply that Filter to the View which will solid fill the family with a color.
Right now we've got about 75 different Descriptions
I'm trying to figure out a simple method of keeping track of all those things. When I create the Filter, I can use the drop-down to select the Description, but then I'd like to name the filter the same as the value. Manually seems to be the only way to do that.
Finally, I need to apply those 75 filters to several View Templates. I know about the trick with using only the Filters, applying that and then re-creating the View Template from current View.
But, yeesh! seems like there should be some simpler way.
I've dabbled in trying to coordinate all this using Dynamo, but there aren't a lot of examples using/creating Filters out there.
Anybody done something like this? Any better ideas than Filters?
