Color geometry in Revit through Dynamo with Display.ByGeometryColor

[Hannes]

Hi, i use Dynamp 1.2 and Revit 2016.

1. Is there a way to color geometry in Revit with Dynamo?
   I tryed this with the node “Display.ByGeometryColor” but i only dye the geometry in Dynamo.

2. Is it possible to import new created geometry and color them in Revit? For example lines? and how?

In my example i dye existing geometry(walls) and try to dye created geometry (solid line):

Change color of elements depending on distance from crane

My self and a colleague have been tasked with coming up with a way of using dynamo to colour elements depending on the distance they are away from a model of a crane.

@Hannes To change colors in Revit use Element.OverrideColorInView

Is there a node that does a similar coloring in Revit to Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry.Line objects please?

That link no longer works in 2023. This still works: Revit.Elements.Element - OverrideColorInView
