Remove Paint

Revit

Hi everyone, there is any way to remove all paint used in a project with dynamo?
For example, i painted some walls with a material “Tijolinho”, and now i want remove all paint used the material “Tijolinho”, but if i do this manually it will take awhile

There’s certainly a method in the API if you know a bit of Python. If not then there might be a package out there that can.

Sorry for the old thread resurrection but was there ever a dynamo solution to this?
I have a graph which works similar to the native copy/monitor function in Revit, which basically copies a linked architectural model and converts all the elements to our structural versions. Only catch is that often the architect paints element faces, and this carries through to our model - it can be quite a task to find and remove them all!

I’d love to plug some nodes/python into my existing graph but can’t seem to find anything out there…

Hi every one!

Someone resolved the problem?
I have the same question and I was try to remove by python script, but I didn’t get :confused:

I don’t how to get the element to remove the paint, I just get the element Id, but I think that I have to get the face and so remove the paint. Someone can give one advice?
