How to override all RVT links in all view templates to display as half tone?

Hi, trying to do what the title says. I’ve built a graph but can’t understand why it won’t accept my inputs
Thanks in advance

I saw my error (changed the end node) but despite getting no warnings the desired outcome of setting the links to half tone doesnt work

Hi @louisbanks and welcome

you need to get all RevitLinkType and use SetElementOverride (instead of by Category)

see an example here

if you haven’t done so already, take time to read the forum rules (How to get help on the Dynamo forums ) and the community guidelines (https://forum.dynamobim.com/faq )

Thanks v much for this. I tried the setup in the snip, whilst there are no warnings, links aren’t going to halftone. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi,

after checking, it seems that the parameters (halftone and underlay) are still not exposed in the Revit API for Revit link

Hi, all what Cyril say :wink: but probably something here could work for you, but you will need run every time you assign a viewtemplate

Thanks v much for this. Anyway you can share the script or provide an image with some more clarity. Would be appreciated

yeah sure but just a fast example, but still best just do it manuel with halftone on the link…and think it isnt so big job, and better than override…IMO :wink:

Appreciate this. Could you help me just 1 more time wih the SOVI_views_from_viewtemplate node please? It says custom node definition not loaded. Do you know what package I need to install to get this working? Thanks

Hi just use the node python in the dyn i shared instead, and should work

I just created a dyf for that python ;), and save it in my intern definations folder, for me its the best way/save for have it for the future if i need :wink: :wink: and you will have lacing, list level option too ;))

I right click and Edit Custom node, nothing happens…
Can you share the phyton instead?
