Apply a color scheme to the background of the view only or to all model elements in the view. In this course you will choose one of the design options and with a program develop a bubble diagram with the revit area plan and area schedule tools.
Conversely if you are creating a level to dictate the height of a parapet capping you probably do not need to have an associated plan view it is only going to be a redundant view that starts to clog up. Make a new color scheme and select your floor finish parameter from the color drop down. Rotate the floor plan away from the horizontal plane. If you are creating a 2nd storey floor plate in your model you definitely need a floor plan view associated with this level.
