Hello,

There isn’t an API to specifically set the color for space elements, per se. That said, it’s possible to get a `Set` object of nodes with a type of [IfcSpace](https://docs.techsoft3d.com/communicator/latest/api_ref/viewing/modules/Communicator.StaticGenericType.html#staticgenerictype). At which point, you can set the color by calling [setNodesFaceColor](https://docs.techsoft3d.com/communicator/latest/api_ref/viewing/classes/Communicator.Model.html#Communicator.Model.setNodesFaceColor). For example:

```auto
var space = hwv.model.getNodesByGenericType(Communicator.StaticGenericType.IfcSpace);

var color = new Communicator.Color(255, 0, 255);
hwv.model.setNodesFaceColor(Array.from(space), color);

```

Thanks,  
Tino
