Colour Scheme

[TrevorA]

Hi All,

I’m trying to create a custom room colour scheme using the RGB data embedded in the room data, I’ve created this dynamo file, at first it seem to work, but now it doesn’t create anything in Revit.

Also I’m not really sure what to connect to the Entry tab on the ColourFill Scheme Update Entry node

Would really appreciate if someone could let me know where i’m going wrong.

Hi,

First you need to define a random color scheme for your view. (or collect one with Element Classes).
After you can modify it ou duplicate it.

Great Thanks @Alban_de_Chasteigner

I’ve added a list sort to colors so they now match up in the color scheme

Hi @Alban_de_Chasteigner

I’ve been testing a longer list of the RGB colors and once the colors are defined by Revit and become “In Use” I cant’ seem to clear or update them with Dynamo.

Is there a way to clear/reset the defined color in Revit and update them again through Dynamo?

Hi,

If you run again the Set ColorFill Scheme Properties node, the colors will be updated.

You must sort the RGB colour strings and not the Dynamo Colors.

Hi @Alban_de_Chasteigner,

Great thanks for taking a look at this

Hi @Alban_de_Chasteigner,

I now have all my RGB codes inside Revit but when I run Dynamo the color doesn’t seem to update and align correctly within the color scheme dialog box.

The two files are here

Would really appreciate if you have a look over the two files when you have a moment.

Hi,

You need some basic list management :
The colour scheme has 683 entries and you collect 720 rooms.
A List.UniqueItems node does the trick.
