Hi All,

Is it possible to manage controlling Visibility and Graphic Display of Elements Using Filters with dynamo ?
I would like manage patterns properties for my filter.

I’ve written a python script for this which I’m happy to share. Note its pretty simplistic in scope (it only takes one colour and updates projection line colour) - I’m planning on adding this to my package bimorphNodes that will enable greater functionality including list inputs for the new colours (if its not already out there in other packages!). This will get you started at least:

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

for v in views:
	filters = v.GetFilters() # Get all the filter ids
	
	for f in filters:
		filterObject = v.GetFilterOverrides(f)
		col = filterObject.ProjectionLineColor
		
		if col.IsValid:
			v.SetFilterOverrides(f, OverrideGraphicSettings().SetProjectionLineColor(Color(newCol[0], newCol[1], newCol[2])))
	
# "End" the transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

Also, can you change the title of your post to relate to your question so others can easily find answers should they have the same question.

Also, check the new filter OOTB nodes and I’ve just found View.OverrideGraphicsSetting in the Archi-lab package by Konrad which may be a better solution:

Hi @Remy_Maurcot

Are you looking to set the Projection/Surface patterns colour for view template or just in the standard VG settings?

@Thomas_Mahon thanks for the mention.

@Remy_Maurcot you can do that with the nodes that Thomas has mentioned. Just download the latest Archi-lab grimshaw package.

Cheers!
