Use the Colors tab of the Modify DGN Export Setup dialog to specify how colors are exported to DGN files.
- Click File tab
ExportOptions
(Export Setups DGN). Select the setup to modify. Click the Colors tab.
For Export colors as, select one of the following values:
-
Index color (255 Colors). For colors that are set by category, the indexed colors specified on the Levels tab of the Modify DGN Export Setup dialog are used. During DGN export, the actual color is translated, which means that the color number and the DGN color number may not be the same, but the colors appear to be the same when viewed.
When colors are not set by category and the override is preserved in the export, Revit LT uses the closest match from the 255 indexed colors and thus may not provide an exact match for RGB and Pantone® colors.
- Specified in object styles (True Color - RGB Values). Uses the RGB value from Revit LT for the ByLayer and ByEntity parameters. For example, when you export room (or space) color fills, the colors in the exported file exactly match those in the original file.
- Specified in view (True Color - RGB values). Use the RGB value from the assigned material colors of the object surface patterns. This option displays colors more true to those seen in the Revit LT view.
