SetElementOverrides in every view

[zrodgersTSSSU]

Hey EAveryone, I want to make overrides to my direct shape in every view in the project but im getting this error. Any ideas?

OverrideGraphicSettings ogs = new OverrideGraphicSettings();
                                ogs.SetProjectionLineColor(color);
                                ogs.SetSurfaceForegroundPatternColor(color);
                                ogs.SetCutFillColor(color);
                                ogs.SetSurfaceTransparency(40);

                                FilteredElementCollector viewCollector = new FilteredElementCollector(doc);
                                viewCollector.OfClass(typeof(Autodesk.Revit.DB.View));

                                foreach (Element viewElement in viewCollector)
                                {
                                    Autodesk.Revit.DB.View view = (Autodesk.Revit.DB.View)viewElement;
                                    view.SetElementOverrides(ds.Id, ogs);
                                }

Your list of views is too broad to start with since Views could also include:

ViewType.Schedule, ViewType.ProjectBrowser, ViewType.SystemBrowser and a few other types that this base class method isn't going to work well with.

For your specific issue you should check: View.AreGraphicsOverridesAllowed.

Ahh Duh... Thank you for the response! that fixed it!

Final Code:

OverrideGraphicSettings ogs = new OverrideGraphicSettings();
                                ogs.SetProjectionLineColor(color);
                                ogs.SetSurfaceForegroundPatternColor(color);
                                ogs.SetCutFillColor(color);
                                ogs.SetSurfaceTransparency(40);

                                //uidoc.ActiveView.SetElementOverrides(ds.Id, ogs);

                                FilteredElementCollector viewCollector = new FilteredElementCollector(doc);
                                viewCollector.OfClass(typeof(Autodesk.Revit.DB.View));

                                foreach (Element viewElement in viewCollector)
                                {
                                    Autodesk.Revit.DB.View view = (Autodesk.Revit.DB.View)viewElement;
                                    if(view.AreGraphicsOverridesAllowed() == true)
                                    {
                                        view.SetElementOverrides(ds.Id, ogs);
                                    }
                                    
                                }
