How to change color of element?

[satouak]

Hello, my purpose is to change color of solid (element?) while creating family.
I have read this article.
Howerver, while creating family programmatically , my ActiveView is null.
So I can't call SetElementOverrides.
Is there any other way to fulfill this? Thanks.
