Override Graphics Settings DirectShape

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

I am overriding the Grahic Settings via the OverrideGraphicSettings class. I have been sucessfull in only changing the transparendy of the surface as well as the line color. But What is most of interest for me is to change the surface color. 

Via the Revit UI it can be done :

Is there a way were I can set the forground pattern to be solid in the API?

here is the code I have tried

for (int i = 0; i < solids.Count; i++)
            {


                DirectShape ds = DirectShape.CreateElement(doc, category);


                ds.ApplicationId = id_addin;
                ds.ApplicationDataId = areaObjects[i].UniqueId;
                IList<GeometryObject> list = new List<GeometryObject>();
                GeometryObject g = solids[i] as GeometryObject;
                list.Add(g);
              
                ds.SetShape(list);

             
                Color color = new Color(255, 0, 0); 
                OverrideGraphicSettings overrideGS = new OverrideGraphicSettings();

                overrideGS.SetProjectionLineColor(color);
          
                overrideGS.SetSurfaceForegroundPatternColor(color);
                      
                overrideGS.SetSurfaceBackgroundPatternColor(color);
             
                overrideGS.SetSurfaceForegroundPatternVisible(true);

                overrideGS.SetSurfaceTransparency(35);

                overrideGS.SetCutLineColor(color);

                doc.ActiveView.SetElementOverrides(ds.Id, overrideGS);

                ds.Name = "Area volume for " + areaObjects[i].Name;

            }

Any tips would be great!

Thanks

The best way to control the direct shape graphic settings is via the category, cf.
