Hi everyone, I’m a newcomer to the Bim/Revit/Dynamo world, so please excuse my ingenuity beforehand. My new task is to prepare about 5000 materials, which are pretty similar one to another. After a few days creating everything manually, decided give Dynamo a chance to do that for me. Did my (quic…

It’s Revit 2015 I was able to access the parameters with: for param in new_mat.Parameters: newMaterials.append(param.URL) #or newMaterials.append(param['URL']) But 'Parameter' object has no attribute 'URL' or TypeError: 'Parameter' object is unsubscriptable happens. The Revit 2015 …

It was one of the firsts post I followed, the thing is I would like to set the properties in the Identity tab first (Descriptive Information and Product Information), . From the Graphics Tab check the ‘use render appereance’ checkbox, the Appereance Tab name and comments , the image can be/shoul…

Still not sure what exactly parameters you’re trying to manage with dynamo, but there are a bunch of new API functions for materials in Revit 2018.1. [image] Revit 2018.1 and the Visual Materials API The Revit 2018.1 update was released last month. It implements one of the most importan…

You’re right, I didn’t explain myself clearly. I’d like to set these with PythonScript: [revit-parameters] [revit-parameters-2] Saw one user setting them with Element.SetElementByName here: ( how-to-set-the-material-parameters-class-and-keywords ) and I thought it will be possible with python.

Identity tab stuff is doable. Well maybe not all of it but I know some of it is as that was my first ever script. Element.setparameterbyname is all you need so long as you feed the right elements (materials) and value types. The appearance tab you can’t touch unless you are in Revit 2018.1.

Trying to break through some mysteries here, I discovered some interesting things. I am on R2017 at the moment: First, the color of a material (the one from the Graphics tab) can be set with a simple Element.SetParameterByName node. The awaited value is an integer but I don’t know how this number …

[image] Yna_Db: The awaited value is an integer but I don’t know how this number is defined. I have been able to set a value from 0 up to 16777215 It’s based on the RGB values; 256 options per variable. [image] r = dynColor.Red; g = dynColor.Green; b = dynColor.Blue; integer = r+256*g+6553…

Any link to an additional resource about that, by chance?
