Single Wall finish

[Anonymous]

Dear Forum Members,

If I want to change the color of a selected  wall I can do it via

doc.ActiveView.set_ProjColorOverrideByElement( 
    ids, color );

Using this the color of only the single wall changes without other walls being modified.

In the same manner how do I change the finish of the selected wall without modifying other walls.

Thanks & Regards

Does the wall finish correspond to an individual Revit database element? If so, you could presumably pass in it element id to the same method you use for the wall. You should be able to determine that with RevitLookup.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Hi,

Similar approach would be using the Paint Method, i think.

There is also a RemovePaint Method, if needed.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much so-chong.

Could you also help me out with this:

Using AppearanceAssetElement I am able to get the path of the material image but that is a relative path:   39 : [String] thumbnail = Mats\MasonryCMU\Presets\t_Masonry-002.png   How do I get the complete path of the image

I Have posted this as a new discussion/thread.

Thanks & Regards

 You're welcome, Sanjay.

I have not used much the AppearanceAssetElement Class, so i can not say off hand how to get the complete path of the image. However, i found this discussion with some similar questions.

Hope this helps or maybe someone else can help.

Dear Marc,
Thanks for the help. But is this path fixed across all versions and all computers as I wanted to fetch the material folder path in my add in.

No, it depends on your version.
