Accessing element color in CwAPI3D Python

[Frmnt-Julien]

Hello,

I would like to use something like attribute_controller.get_color(element_id) to get the color of an element in CwAPI3D, but it seems this function does not exist.

Is there another way to:

• get the element color as a number (e.g. 200)
• or detect if an element belongs to a specific CADwork color?

Thanks for your help

Thank you very much for your help!

The solution using visualization_controller.get_color(element_id) works perfectly.

I didn’t think this controller could work with active elements, so I was looking in the wrong place.

In the end, it was much simpler than expected.

Thanks again
