Single Object Color Change initiated from Visual Basic code

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have sample code that outlines how to use the "OverridePermanentColor" included in the NavAPI?

Have been playing with this code for a few days now and cannot get it to trigger anything.  I am trying to see if I can create code that will change the active color to RED for a single object within a model. 

I can, and have linked Excel to the model and can trigger and event change via the appearance profiler, but the profiler has to be manually triggered.  I guess that would be another option/question: Is there a way through the API to trigger the Appearance Profiler to execute via a VB timer? 

Any direction, literature, sample code to look over, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Very few people in the forum use vb - most people here use csharp - that being said the syntax should be very similar.
What you need is something like this (sorry in csharp):
Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Color mycolor = new Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Color(r / 255, g / 255, b / 255); //define rgb as double
ModelItemCollection MyCollection = Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument.CurrentSelection.SelectedItems;//you can create a modelitemcollection via search as well
Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument.Models.OverridePermanentColor(MyCollection, mycolor);
