Hi all,
I’m trying to override the surface color of elements in a certain view (not active view). So I’ve found this post about that: Element color override in viewS
I’m trying to replicate the code in Python, but it’s not working for me. Can anyone help me with this?
parameter compare and override.dyn (194.0 KB)

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
items = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
view = UnwrapElement(IN[1])
trans = IN[2]
booleans = []
red = Color(255,0,0)
Pat = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(FillPatternElement).ToElements()
override = OverrideGraphicSettings()
override.SetSurfaceForegroundPatternColor(red)
override.SetSurfaceForegroundPatternId(Pat[0].Id)
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
for item in items:
try:
view.SetElementOverrides(item.Id, override)
booleans.append(True)
except: booleans.append(False)
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
OUT = (items,view,booleans)
