Cable Tray - Hatch Patterns
We just rolled out Revit MEP 2011 and I have a quick question about the new cable tray feature. Is there a way to apply a hatch pattern to the surface, or modify the material? I see that they're system families, so the "edit-ability" is limited. We currently use a custom made family that looks great on the drawings, but cumbersome to use. The new command would work great if we could only add a surface pattern to it.
I would appreciate the advice. Thanks.
Re: Cable Tray - Hatch Patterns
You can use a Filter to find the cable tray then apply a surface pattern to it, finding all sizes greater than zero would get them all.

Re: Cable Tray - Hatch Patterns
The easiest way to begin with is to use filters.
Go to Visibility Graphics and the filters tab.
Create a new filter for cable trays AND fittings with whatever filter you want to aply (say service type = power)
For this filter you can add a pattern for the projection/ surface, including any colouring you want.
