Take a look at this thread and some of the similar threads below it for how others are doing their fire rated walls and legends

I have taken a look at the thread . but this is not what i want. because they are all talking about how to make the wall fire rated ... but my issue is not about how to show the wall it is about how to make a color legend for linetypes.
Thank you,

Let's not waste any more time here. This is foolish.
What is a legend? It is a representative of the item and text you add. So for your legend component - draw one of your colored lines and add the text in a legend view. Obviously, the line will be too narrow so use a filled region with that same color - just like you did in CAD.

No it will not be automated and its not a very good process.

You are not doing an area or room legend, are you? Revit has those two only. All other legends, you must create.
Please read this topic in your HELP: Legend Views
