Hi Is there any way of retrieving element graphic overrides in order to match the overrides between different elements? The nodes Element.Override… can apply overrides, but what about retrieving them? Thanks PS is for doing quick sketches during the initial design stage :smiley:

Hi @franciscusm , It’s possible to get the overrides. [Overrides] You can use the Get Element Overrides node alone or with the Sastrugi and Clockwork packages . [Retrieve%20elements%20overrides]

Hi, Maybe this helps [image] Color - how to get channels from overrideGraphicsSettings Developers Hi, I’m trying to get 3 channels from Autodesk.Revit.DB,Color and I’m really stuck smiley Basically I’ve got lists: overrideGraphicSettings -> get for example CutLineColor…

Great, thanks, just what I was looking for! I also took a look at the python code above, however will be quicker for me using just nodes.

You’re welcome. You can drop the custom node in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Dynamo\Dynamo Revit\1.3\definitions or in the dyf folder of the Genius Loci package if you use it.

works fine, thanks. How come is not already in the Genius Loci package by default?

It’s only because I have to update the package with the new custom nodes :grinning:

Hi all! I know this topic is pretty old, but I found it quite useful! I’m pretty new to Dynamo, so I tried to recreat the script shown before in this thread. In my model / current view I selected a detail line (in a detail view), which is overriden with a different pattern and color. Unfortunatel…

You need a Set Override node once you get the color. [Overrides] Overrides.dyn (17.0 KB) What category is your arrow ? A family instance ? It is working fine for detail lines for me.

Hi! Thank you so much for your reply. :slight_smile: The arrow is just a paint thingy, not Revit related, so I could point out what I wanted to do. I’ll try out your solution! :slight_smile:

So I just tried your solution. I drew a black detail line and a black detail line with a blue override. I can make the overriden blue detail line black, but not the other way around (which is what I’m looking for). Is there a way to turn this around? Or am I doing anything wrong?

Show your graph with the preview enabled under the nodes. There shouldn’t be a problem.
