    I'm sure this is probably a wishlist item, but is there a way to make revision clouds a different colour?

    Go to settings/line styles, you can change the color, line pattern and weight.

    I realize that this is an old post and I have just downloaded the newest version of Revit, but can't find a Revsion line style to alter. What am I missing?

    In 8.1 the setting is in the settings/object styles dialog, under the annotations tab.

    I think it used to be where Steve said. Not sure which release moved it there...

    Thanks Andrew. The help file also needs updating since to directs you to Line Styles.

    Now if they can add a transparency to the clouds. it stinks when they cover up important information. Another wish list is that you can change the line types or colors of the different revision, so that the latest revision is the obvious one without turning off the other clouds.

    Sorry, what? The cloud lines are very thin and I never find that they obscure anything... and if the line was transparent... how would you see the revision cloud?

    Cool Re: Revision Clouds

    OK Elrond not a very polite way of answering. It is not like you would make the line invisible with a transparency off 100 just a slight transparency, so you can see through the cloud. Here let me show some examples to clarify. see below attached Acad plot compared to the Revit plots which do you think reads the best.

    Hi Jarod,

    Have you tried setting the Rev Cloud to a grey tone ?
