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): ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/2/a296b480fcb8fb999ad6beca7df1a594de3e1cf2.png) Here is a link to similar discussion: [Surface color gradient in revit](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/surface-color-gradient-in-revit/8577) ---

This should get you there. > [@Change color of elements depending on distance from crane](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/change-color-of-elements-depending-on-distance-from-crane/2191): > > 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. We are currently in the process of coming up with ideas as to what is the best way to go about this… The outcome would need to be a all the element are different collars depending on their distance from the crane e.g. if it was\<= 20m - element would be blue, if the element was 21m to 30m the element would be red etc… The distance… ---

@Hannes To change colors in Revit use _Element.OverrideColorInView_ ![](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/8/28887eb8aed2c702be366e630d7d331b0db16a10.png) ---

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