    Change Canvas

    Overview

    Change Canvas toggles the Revit canvas — the drawing-area background — between Dark and Light for the current session, in one click. It flips Revit's canvas theme independently of the overall interface theme, so you can pair a dark ribbon with a light drawing area or the reverse. There is no dialog; the background changes immediately.

    How to use

    1. In the B45 Labs | Coordination tab, open the Revit Settings panel and click Change Canvas.
    2. The Revit drawing-area background toggles between Dark and Light for the active session.

    Tips & Notes

    • Change Canvas is independent of Change Theme — the canvas background and the interface chrome can each be set to a different mode.

    Limitations

    • Requires Revit 2024 or newer. On Revit 2023 the canvas theme is not exposed by the API, and the command reports that it is not supported.
