Hi there!
I need to assign a color to the Text2D element, so when I run my script the text show in a specific color in the drawing.
this is surprisingly lacking in TextProperty.
any aIdea?
There are two nodes for the CommonProperties: NodeFormat and NodeFormatPalette.
Unfortunately, neither of them works with NodeText2D.
But you can expand the NodeText2D with an Input.
Therefore you have to modify NodeText2D.py and NodeText2D.pypsub in directory
C:\ProgramData\Nemetschek\Allplan\2025\Etc\VisualScripts\NodeLib\Classic Library\Layout.
I have done this for you (see Node2DFormat.zip)
With this modified NodeText2D you can create Text with Colors (see text_with_format.png)
The Text2D element is a normal ModelElement2d.
That means, it has CommonProperties, where the Color is defined.
In the NodeText2D the current set common properties are used:
def create_text(self, text, text_prop, ref_point):
com_prop = AllplanBaseElements.CommonProperties()
com_prop.GetGlobalProperties()
location = AllplanGeo.Point2D(ref_point)
return AllplanBasisElements.TextElement(com_prop, text_prop, str(text), location)If you want to have another one, try to add CommonProperties with some Node.
Or use the color formatting inside the text:
%C{n|text%C} with n...Color-Number and text ... the text with this color.
thanks for the response,
since I need the color to be changed with a pattern (eg. 5 different colors for 5 different text) i cannot use the formatting inside the text.
with CommonProperties i need some more explanation.
is there a way to add color to TextProperty.py or any other way?

you are amazing
^I have the same problem with FillingPallete, I need the Filling color also change with a list, according to the text color (see first image please). although I cannot connect a list with the desired colors to FirstColor in FillingPallete
I have created a new new NodeSolidFilling2D (derived from NodeFilling2D).
This Node has an input Color instead of FillingProperties.
Together with NodeColorInput you can easily create a solid filling.
The file Std_Visualscripts.zip has to unpack to STD\VisualScripts.
thanks.
but it seems like it cannot take a list as input paramater.
Try this one, please.
its functioning perfectly. thanks again.
is there a way taht run this .pyp I made in the layout mode (not drawing mode) in allplan?
