Hello everyone! I need to pass material from a family to a mass. I have tested this script, but it doesn’t seem to work because it can’t find the material parameter, although I have set it, what could be the problem?
Indeed you should select a material not “By Category”
This is a string not material the material in the Revit is element , you should select a material instead of “By Category”
I’m pretty sure I have to match the graphic part between the 2 materials instead, i.e. the ‘surface pattern’ materials. Is there any way to do this? What would be the nodes to use?
I investigated further and the nodes I should use are the ones you see, as the colour to the source family is applied as a surface motif. However, I welcome suggestions on how to connect them in relation to what I need to do. I imagine that in order for where the red dot is, the ground above it to turn red, the two objects must be connected somehow, but how? I apologise, but unfortunately I am not an expert on Dynamo.
I am confuse , your material parameter(Name) in all the element is same and is the type parameter , right?
So my dynamo should be work only you need to define the material.
could you post your dynamo and some simple element that you want to change the material.
Thank you!
So, I tested your script, but as it was still not working by putting the material in, I replaced the ‘code block’ with ‘Get Family Parameter’. It worked and in fact, you can see the colour changed. However, as soon as I restarted it gave me an error.
Also, what I need is not just one colour but several colours, as you can see there is not just red, but also yellow and green, etc. So I would need some sort of eyedropper to pick up just the colour of the object and pass it to the one above.
