This script shows how to set the color, transparency and line width of an Element. There are four colors in Lexocad which define the visual appearance of an Element:

• Diffuse Color
• Emissive Color
• Specular Color
• Ambient Color

Please refer to the Draw.OglMaterial class for more information.

import Base
import OpenLxApp as lx
import OpenLxUI as ui

app = lx.Application.getInstance()
doc = app.getActiveDocument()

block = lx.Block.createIn(doc)
elem = lx.Element.createIn(doc)
elem.setGeometry(block)
