\<p style=“font-weight: 300;”\>Hey all\</p\>  
\<p style=“font-weight: 300;”\>So, this was started in a thread a while ago, and i got loads of help from you guys which was greatly appreciated.\</p\>  
\<p style=“font-weight: 300;”\>We now have a definition that will colour up elements that fall within incremented distance from a central object (Tower Crane), and then checks if the objects are too heavy to be lifted and if so, colours them red. [CraneRadius](http://dynamobim.org/wp-content/uploads/forum-assets/alisder-brownoutlook-com/12/04/CraneRadius_ABro_Rev02.dyn) is the definition im using just now\</p\>  
\<p style=“font-weight: 300;”\> The above definition is working really well, but now we are looking to have the various crane lifting Radius defined individually instead of increments.\</p\>  
\<p style=“font-weight: 300;”\>Is this possible? If so, how would i go about it? Our tower crane has 3 different lifting Radius we need to define elements within each radius.\</p\>  
\<p style=“font-weight: 300;”\>Radius are:\</p\>

\<ul style=“font-weight: 300;”\>

- 50meter (max R of crane)
  
- 41.9meter
  
- 4.6meter (min R of crane)
\<p style="font-weight: 300;"\>Any help would be appreciated\</p\> \<p style="font-weight: 300;"\>Cheers\</p\>

Hello [ALISDER BROWN](http://dynamobim.org/forums/users/alisder-brownoutlook-com/ "View Alisder Brown's profile"),

To provide the solution for your problem, I need Revit file from your side.

I have downloaded the DYN file, but I need Revit file to run the script.

Thanks,

Ritesh
