I have an HVAC routing layout that shows supply and return in a plan view. The Supply is in Blue and the Return is in Red and there is a Legend called "Duct Routing Color" that shows Blue and Red.  In addition there is also a basic "Color Scheme" legend that shows the HVAC Zones. The aones are also shown in colors. So (1) legend for Duct colors and (1) legend for Zone colors. The colors of the ducts and legends in the plan view all display exactly the way I want.

I'm trying to get the Duct colors and Duct color legend (also known as "System Color Schemes"  to show up in an elevation view exactly the way i have it in the plan view i just described.

I'm able to get the Zones legend and Zone color scheme to appear in the elevation exactly as i made in the plan view, but not the Duct colors legend and color scheme.

When you click "view properties" on the plan view it lists "System Color Schemes" under "Graphics", but do the same on the elevation view and it doesn't appear. When I try to insert a new legend it just duplicates the HVAC Zones legend that is already present in the elevation view.

 Much thanks for any suggestions

Search Pipe Color in the forums GMMcCrossin asked a similar question and Brettggodchild had a very good answer. This will probably help

Thanks for the help.

Yeah, the thread didn't quite seem to address what I was looking for.

I am, by the way, using a filter system for the Supply and Return and have the Ducts and every catactory relative to Ducts that I want to show up as Red and Blue set in a filter. All ducts show up as red and blue in both the plan and elevation views - looks good.

The issue is the legend; "System Color Legend" vs  "Color Legend" as can be seen in the "view properties." in the elevation view i can't simply make a new color legend for the ducts. "Duct Legend" button is greyed out under the analyze tab and "System Color Scheme" doesn't show up under "view properties" for the elevation view.

If pictures help i can take a few.

Thanks
