sorry for the question which is perhaps trivial
but can I change the color of the dynamo entities?
example if I create a cylindrical surface in dynamo can I color it red?
I have not found any node in dynamo for alias to do this
Python is:
# Load the Python Standard and DesignScript Libraries
import sys
import clr
clr.AddReference(âProtoGeometryâ)
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
clr.AddReference(âGeometryColorâ)
from Modifiers import GeometryColor
geom = IN[0]
color = IN[1]
OUT = GeometryColor.ByGeometryColor(geom, color)
A GeometryColor.ByGeometryColor node would work as is too. No need to get all Python about it. 
Once thing to mention here, though: you can color entities in Dynamo, but this color will NOT transfer back to Alias, as in Alias, geometry doesnât have a color attribute. Instead, in Alias the color is defined by the Layer the geometry is on.
Itâs perfect, thatâs what I was looking for! Thank you
I needed to be able to color objects in dyano not alias. When there are many entities it is difficult to manage them if they are all gray
I am looking for the GeometryColor.ByGeometryColor node but I cannot find it in dynamo by alias. Where is it? It does not appear in the search function
I see it? Which Alias version are you on?
2021.2
I tried but it doesnât work
Warning: CPythonEvaluator.EvaluatePythonScript operation failed.
SyntaxError : (âinvalid character in identifierâ, (ââ, 4, 32, âclr.AddReference(âProtoGeometryâ)\nâ)
I just installed 2021.2, and I do see it in the search field:
If you still donât see it, can you please share a screenshot of your library tree on the left, having opened âGeometry - Modifiers - Geometry Colorâ?
Thanks,
GG

i found the node but i canât get it to work
Warning: GeometryColor.BySurfaceColors expects argument type(s) (Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry.Surface, DSCore.Color), but was called with (Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry.NurbsSurface, Function).
