Can you specify the issue a little bit more? There are several ways of colouring a line. The display colour? The plot/print colour? only visualizing or maybe bake it with color?

Thanks

You can change the document preview settings:

Or you can use a Custom Preview component to display specific geometry in a specific colour.

In all seriousness how many days have you used Grasshopper for?

In that time have you not worked out that in order to change how a component works you "Most Likely" have to change one of its inputs.

Try plugging a colour into the other input.

This can be done in a number of ways.

don't forget that if you don't know where to find a component on the toolbars you can use the Create Function by double clicking on the canvas and typing a keyword to search for.

Once you have it on the canvas you can then hold down Ctrl+Alt+LMB click the component to see where it is located on the toolbars (Ribbons)

is it possible to do this inside a gh.python script ? Lets say i have 3 outcomes in my script, and i want the geometry in 2 of them to be displayed in yellow and blue, the other one in the default color.

is it possible?

Hi Fernando,

You should start a new discussion, ideally in the VB, C# and Python Coding forum and link to this thread as a reference. Otherwise it may go unnoticed by the relevant people who can answer it.
