Color Splasher - Reset Colors Not Working

Tools
1

When I use ColorSplasher the colors do not reset when I press that button. There are no pop-ups, nothing happens.

Revit 2024.2
PyRevit v4.8.16.24121

Thanks,

I’ve the same problem, from my analysis there were few issues in ResetColors class. I also would have one suggestion to use selected category in (for not resetting objects that were not overwritten by Color Splasher)
collector = ( DB.FilteredElementCollector(new_doc, view.Id) .WhereElementIsNotElementType() .WhereElementIsViewIndependent() .ToElements() )

Here’s the ResetColors class with issues that blocked me from running reset button:

 class ResetColors(UI.IExternalEventHandler):
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def Execute(self, uiapp):
        try:
            new_doc = revit.DOCS.doc
            view = get_active_view(new_doc)
            sel_cat = wndw._categories.SelectedItem['Value']
            #Issue number 1
            #Error: sel_par = wndw._listBox1.SelectedItem['Value']
            #AttributeError: 'FormCats' object has no attribute '_listBox1'
            #sel_par = wndw._listBox1.SelectedItem['Value']
            try:
                #Issue number 2
                # Error: filter_name = sel_cat._name + "/"
                # AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute '_name' 
                filter_name = sel_cat._name + "/"
            except Exception:
                filter_name = ""
            filters = view.GetFilters()
            if len(filters) != 0:
                with revit.Transaction(doc=new_doc, name="Reset colors in elements"):
                    for filt_id in filters:
                        filt_ele = new_doc.GetElement(filt_id)
                        if filt_ele.Name.StartsWith(filter_name):
                            view.RemoveFilter(filt_id)
                        try:
                            new_doc.Delete(filt_id)
                        except:
                            pass
            if view != 0:
                # unnecessary creation of OverrideGraphicSettings
                #ogs = DB.OverrideGraphicSettings().Dispose()
                ogs = DB.OverrideGraphicSettings()
                collector = (
                    DB.FilteredElementCollector(new_doc, view.Id)
                    .WhereElementIsNotElementType()
                    .WhereElementIsViewIndependent()
                    .ToElements()
                )
                with revit.Transaction(doc=new_doc, name="Reset colors in elements"):
                    for ele in collector:
                        view.SetElementOverrides(ele.Id, ogs)
        except Exception as e:
            #print(traceback.format_exc())
            pass

    def GetName(self):
        return "Reset colors in elements"

OK, issue number 2 was cased by not selecting category, it’s enough to comment this line:
