Hi all, I would like to create a surface with color on revit. I tried to use GeometryColor.ByGeometryColor, but not sure why it doesn’t work.

I read some other post that solve this problem by uncheck the preview in preview nodes. However, it seems not working in here.

I am using revit 2019 and dynamo 2.0.4. Thanks a lot!!

The geometry is inside Dynamo and not Revit :-).  
The blue circle and point you see is Revit’s preview of the geometry - and as I know of, always represented as blue 🙂

Hope that helps.

You’ll need to first import into Revit the geometry created in Dynamo.  
Then you can color it in specific views.
