BruceKC Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Is it possible to send to elevations to layout in black and white, and yet have other views such as floor plans sent to layout in color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Turn color off in you plan view or camera view. Toggling color on in layout can only toggle colors on if the view (from the plan file) has color on in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceKC Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Thanks everyone. I may be dense, so I'm not sure if I'm understanding any of you correctly. I have two views of the same floor plan that need to be in color, but the elevation views that I sent I don't want in color. I'm thinking I can't have it both ways.

I'm thinking I can't have it both ways. Let's slow it down and back it up a bit. You have 2 different files right? You have a Plan file and you have a Layout file. Those 2 different files each have their own color toggles. Color can be toggled separately in each of the 2 files. Not only can color be toggled separately in each of the 2 files, but in your Plan file you can also toggle color separately for each and every Saved Plan View and each and every camera. In your Plan files, you can toggle color on for your 2 floor plan views and toggle color off for your elevation views. In your Layout file, you can just leave color toggled on. Because your elevation views have color toggled off to start with, there will be no color to display in layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceKC Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hi Michael, thanks for the help. I sent the elevations to layout as "plot lines" with the color off. That worked fine in the layout, but if I turn the general layout to "color on", the color on the elevations comes back on. Perhaps I'm not doing the whole process correctly, kinda new at this. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help. Open the Layout Box Specification dialog and uncheck Color Fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael's fix should correct it. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
