        return null;

    // Get 3d view
    List<View3D> theView3Ds = new List<View3D>();
    foreach (View3D view3D in RetrieveElementByType<View3D>(document))
    {
        // It's strongly recommend to get  RenderingSettings from visible 3d view, 
        // although it can retrieve data from an invisible one,
        if (view3D.IsTemplate || !view3D.CanBePrinted)
            continue;
        return view3D.GetRenderingSettings();
    }
    return null;

public static List<T> RetrieveElementByType<T>(Document document) where T : Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element

    FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
    return collector.OfClass(typeof(T)).Cast<T>().ToList<T>();
