"Color Splasher Select" - a variation of the Color Splasher

Tools Showcase
1

I work in the MEP world and have always had a need for a color splasher tool to color selected elements rather than by category. This made it easy to trace my duct or pipe.

I normally use this for QC/Working views. I wanted to share this and if deemed useful could be included in pyRevit. I tried to share a quick 30 second screen recording of it but don’t now how to.

its a little over 1200 lines of code and the chat doesn’t let me post more than 32000 characters. How do I go about sharing?

Github is best for posting longer code.

You can also no make
Gist code bits

not sure I understand “no make Gist code bits”

Gist is a feature of GitHub… Specifically for posting snippets rather than a full project.

Learned something new. Here is that Gist :grinning_face:

Thank you very much for sharing this great tool!

The window was getting mangled a bit by my 4K display as its Scaling is set to 150%.

I asked Gemini to have it scale the UI based on the display scale:

I’m happy to share, but I’m cautious about posting AI(-slop). :slight_smile:

Thank you again!

sharing is caring, share.This could be an shift+click alternative to the color splasher reusing most of its code.

Hopefully that’s sufficient attribution!

i’m stoked that i was able to make something useful!
