Any idea how can I create the Buttom for the below image.
from pyrevit import script
#Import pyRevit form library
import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import Category
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import *
app = __revit__.Application
uidoc = __revit__.ActiveUIDocument
doc = uidoc.Document
logger = script.get_logger()
logger.set_quiet_mode()
collector = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_PointClouds).ToElements()
cat = None
for i in collector:
cat = i.Category
// how can I change the colour mode?
Gui Talarico has you covered 
this is what you are after
pt_cloud_settings = DB.PointClouds.PointCloudOverrideSettings()
pt_cloud_settings.ColorMode = DB.PointCloudColorMode.Normals
When you look for code samples, besides looking into pyrevit code + others extensions I suggest you look through this website instead ApiDocs.co and once you located a method for example, click on the top right symbol
yeah, the way the transaction is handled…
try this _ pyrevit modules style _
from pyrevit import revit, DB
uidoc = revit.uidoc
doc = revit.doc
view = uidoc.ActiveView
pt_overrides = view.GetPointCloudOverrides()
pts = DB.FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(DB.PointCloudInstance).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
pt_cloud_settings = DB.PointClouds.PointCloudOverrideSettings()
pt_cloud_settings.ColorMode = DB.PointCloudColorMode.Normals
with revit.Transaction('Point Cloud Color Mode change'):
for pt in pts:
pt_overrides.SetPointCloudOverrideSettings(pt.Id, pt_cloud_settings)

not tried, rough guess
SetPointCloudOverrideSettings → SetPointCloudScanOverrideSettings
from pyrevit import revit, DB
uidoc = revit.uidoc
doc = revit.doc
view = uidoc.ActiveView
pt_overrides = view.GetPointCloudOverrides()
pts = DB.FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(DB.PointCloudInstance).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
pt_cloud_settings = DB.PointClouds.PointCloudOverrideSettings()
pt_cloud_settings.ColorMode = DB.PointCloudColorMode.Normals
with revit.Transaction('Point Cloud Color Mode change'):
for pt in pts:
pt_overrides.SetPointCloudScanOverrideSettings(pt.Id, pt_cloud_settings)

Works perfectly…
all the below works good and well.
|NoOverride|Show the actual colors|
|FixedColor|Show a single color|
|Elevation|Color by elevation|
|Intensity|Color by intensity (reflectivity)|
|Normals|Color by normal vectors|
This code is working well, but if I want to change Normals to NoOverride and then NoOverride to Normals and repeat it again so how could i do?
Thanks guys which is quite helpful @Jean-Marc @_Vijay
