Hi 

I am trying to apply floor finishes(via a color legend method and not 3d floor finishes) to a revit model. But due to some reason they are exploding out of the enclosed room areas. I have a few ideas but am not sure what to do to solve this problem as this is happening in almost all the rooms.Additionsally the other problem is that the hatches only show up in the wireframe view - and not any other view 

1. Since the model is in design phases room enclosing regions of existing, demolished phases are getting mixed up with the new walls

2. Bounding regions getting mixed up 

3. Maybe a problem of worksets. 

How can I solve this issue - has anyone seen this before

I was easily able to replicate this problem.

My research shows that this has been an issue going back to the very beginning of this product. Some have suggested setting the Color Scheme Location to 'Background' but that doesn't work.

It seems that as long as you use a color fill instaed of a Pattern it doesn't bleed to the middle of the wall. I tried a few different things and could not get this to work. This is a bug in my opinion.

The only work around is to set a 'Course Fill Color' in the wall type (could use solid white) and set the view to 'Coarse' but then you would loose all the layers within the wall.

You could just use color fills in the Schema instead of Patterns and that would in fact solve the problem 100% and let you continue to use the Color Schema tools and lengends.

Other than that abandon Color Schema and use Filled Regions instead. Yucky answer I know.

Surprised Autodesk has never addressed this issue ? You can find threads going back to REVIT 2009 on this problem.
