Expected Color, Got Color Error?

Hello

I keep getting the error Expected Color, Got Color.

Here’s my Code:

When you ask Unwrapped RegionType object for a Color property I recon, it might just return a DSColor object. What you want to do is convert that to Autodesk.Revit.DB.Color object. I would just change this line:

colourList.append(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Color(region.Color.R, region.Color.G, region.Color.B,))

It might just be easier to Unwrap the RegionType object to native Revit element and then ask it for a color like so:

colourList.append(UnwrapElement(region).Color)

This might just return a Revit Color object.

Cheers!

Hi Konrad

I tried to give it a whirl but another error is preventing the Graph to run. The error says “Unexpected Token ‘;’”

you are missing a ) at the end of the line there

Almost there…I’m getting the following error:
Warning: IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):

That’s pretty clear i think. Make sure that your view actually exists. Revit only throws this warning when things were deleted.

Thanks Konrad, it’s all working now
