Introduction

In this episode, walls are automatically colored based on their area. Blue for small ones, red for large ones. Let's get started. Hello! In episode 12, we will color elements based on their parameter value.

Step 1: Open Dynamo from the Manage tab in Revit

Open Dynamo from the Manage tab in Revit, then click Launch Dynamo. Wait until the window opens.

Step 2: Create a new workspace with the New button

On the initial page, click New to create Work Spa C0. Select all walls, right-click, find Categories, and select Walls, then All Elements of Category.

Step 3: Pick the wall and read its area

Read the wall area using CodeBlock Area and Get Parameter Value by Name.

Step 4: Convert the area into a number from 0 to 1 with RemapRange

The mat.remap range node converts the list of areas into numbers from 0 to 1, with the smallest being 0 and the largest being 1.

Step 5: Prepare two colors and their indices in Code Block

Create a CodeBlock containing two colors with Color.byARGB, blue for small and red for large. Another CodeBlock contains the indices 0 and 1. The Color Range node receives the colors, indices, and values, then produces one color for each wall.

Step 7: Apply the color with Element.OverrideColorInView

The Element.overID ColorInView node applies that color to the walls in the currently active view in Revit.

Step 8: Check the result in Revit - Consistent Colors &

Let's check in Revit. Change the Visual Style to consistent color so the colors are clear. Small walls are blue, large walls are red.

Done! The walls are colored according to their area

Done! Our model is colored according to the data. In the next episode, we will move into basic geometry. Goodbye! Want to master Dynamo and Revit?
