Thank you Rich It was a very straight forward and easy to understand presentation and not long and excessive.

Hi rich, i have a question, what if my filters for duct is more than 3 types of classification? such as Kitchen exhaust air duct (KEAD) which different color to exhaust duct? how to create it using system classification? thank you...

Hi @delyslife, In Revit, you can create a system classification for ducts with more than three types, such as distinguishing Kitchen Exhaust Air Duct (KEAD) from other exhaust ducts based on their different colors. To achieve this, you can follow these steps: 1. **Create Duct Types**: Start by defining the different types of ducts you want to classify. In this case, you would create a duct type for Kitchen Exhaust Air Duct and another for the regular exhaust duct. You can create custom duct types with different sizes and properties as needed. 2. **Assign Colors**: Once you have created the duct types, you can assign different colors to each type. Go to the "Manage" tab in Revit, click on "Duct Types" under the "Settings" panel, and then select each duct type to modify its properties. In the properties dialog, you can change the color for each duct type using the "Graphics" tab. 3. **Place Ducts**: Now that you have defined the duct types with different colors, you can start placing the ducts in your Revit project. When you place a duct, you can select the appropriate duct type from the properties palette, and it will appear with the assigned color. 4. **System Classification**: To classify the ducts based on their types, you can use the "System Classification" parameter. Select the duct elements you want to classify, go to the "Modify" tab, and look for the "Properties" panel. In the properties palette, you should see the "System Classification" parameter. You can enter the appropriate classification for each duct, such as "KEAD" or "Regular Exhaust." 5. **Filtering and Scheduling**: Once you have classified the ducts using the "System Classification" parameter, you can use this information to filter and schedule the ducts based on their types. For example, you can create view filters to display only KEAD ducts with a specific color or create schedules that list the quantities of each duct type. By following these steps, you can effectively create a system classification for ducts with more than three types and distinguish Kitchen Exhaust Air Duct (KEAD) from other exhaust ducts based on their different colors in your Revit project.
