New Location Scheme Setup

Manage Location Schemes - Name of the scheme
- Whether to include elements from linked models
- Scheme type:
- 🔘 By Value: for nominal/text values (e.g. Type Name)
- 🔘 By Range: for numeric values (e.g. Volume, Area), grouped in steps
- Categories to include (e.g. Walls, Doors, Floors)
- The parameter to use for classification

💡 The system automatically generates color assignments for each value or range.

Apply Scheme to View

Simple scheme picker window
Toggle which schemes are active
Elements are visually highlighted based on their assigned values
The view will retain the visual overrides defined by the active schemes.

⚠️ Note: Schemes can only be applied to views of type Floor Plan, Section, 3D, or Drafting.

💡 To reflect recent changes (e.g. edited or newly added values), reopen the scheme picker or use the Force Refresh button in the Manage Location Schemes window. 💡 If an element is updated with a value that doesn't yet exist in the scheme, you must refresh the scheme to ensure it gets correctly classified and displayed.
