Hi ![Change Layer names and colour of all objects under one Layer](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/2/0269a92793ee4094a1741f0f4ee253e2d3cf50bf.jpeg) As per attached file, I have created a graph which selects all the objects within a layer and change to a new layer assigned. I can assign the objects under the new layer with a colour from colour palette. But I wanted to assign colour with ByLayer colour. Could you help me to assign colour ByLayer. ---

Hi @shashimanandhar1417, I’m not sure which version of Civil 3D you are using, but if you’re able to update to Civil 3D 2025.1, then this is quite easy. You can simply plug in a string that says “ByLayer”. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/6/5682432381ce55bd4e55a049a8d14b42f3bd954a.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/1/b/1bdbc433b3b8cfc7d7eaf1d0205344db0591a81b.png) ---

In older versions, you can do a workaround with the Arkance Systems package. However you will need an object in your dwg that already has color by layer. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/a/6a412716ef1cb8debd0e4a41fa228fd4032ecc00.png) ---

Not perse. You can also use the GetColorByACI value 256 for ByLayer or 0 for ByBlock. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/3/c/3cf5e8808bf473e8db4b637912f16e4de1eceaeb.png) In Civil 2D 2025.1 you will find these nodes in [The Civil Nodes](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/the-civil-nodes-feedback-thread/105165) package. ---

Thank you all for all your helps and suggestions. I know you might have given the right solution but the node “Object.SetColor” from Camber Package worked for me. ![Node](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/9/59fabfb00059558387d4bd5204080521e7f36fe7.jpeg)
