In Revit, I can only find this under Procedural maps, which are material properties. Not sure it could be set through Dynamo (but with Python maybe)…

@JAVIER_FQG similar topic is discussed here [Extract face material information](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/extract-face-material-information/2712/2)

You can use the PointAnalysisDisplay functions to display coloured points in Revit.  
With enough points you could map an image to a surface 🙂

> Has anyone attempted to apply a heat map on a wall? I’m working with boundary reinforcing and would like to show areas on the wall where MEP can not penetrate. I’m unsure if anyone has any experience doing this or if this might be achieved by using an image that can be refreshed. If this isn’t achievable through Dynamo maybe it’s possible through the API. If you’ve done this or have a thought on how this might be done please let me know. thank you.
