Automatic stairs path with linked models

Revit

Hi!
I’m having some issues with automatic stairs path tags when they’re in a linked model.

When the stairs is in the same model, there’s no problem, but when it’s in a linked model, the script fail and I can’t guess why.

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

doc.Regenerate()
uidoc.RefreshActiveView()

OUT = newpaths

The stairs from the linked model are collected in another node and connected with the IN[1].

Can anyone help me, please? Thank you very much in advance

Hello @Francisco.AB

use this constructor for link element

import clr
import sys
import System
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
import Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry as DS

#import Revit API
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
import Autodesk.Revit.DB as DB
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Architecture import *

#import transactionManager and DocumentManager (RevitServices is specific to Dynamo)
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

pf_path = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFilesX86)
sys.path.append(pf_path + '\\IronPython 2.7\\Lib')
clr.AddReference("System.Core")
clr.ImportExtensions(System.Linq)

def get_rvtLink_inst(lnk_elem):
	return DB.FilteredElementCollector(doc)\
			.OfClass(DB.RevitLinkInstance)\
			.Where(lambda x : x.GetLinkDocument().Title == lnk_elem.Document.Title)\
			.FirstOrDefault()

linkStair = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
pathTyp_Id  = DB.FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(DB.Architecture.StairsPathType).FirstElementId()
# retrieve link instance of linkElelemt
linkInstance_stair = get_rvtLink_inst(linkStair)
if linkInstance_stair is not None:
	# compute LinkElementId
	stairid = DB.LinkElementId(linkInstance_stair.Id, linkStair.Id)
	TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
	newpath = StairsPath.Create(doc, stairid, pathTyp_Id, doc.ActiveView.Id)
	TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
	OUT = newpath

Hi all,

I try to do something similar…
I have stairs in a linked files and i would like to add the stairs path with dynamo.

Using the share code i try to adapt it:

import clr
import sys
import System
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
import Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry as DS

#import Revit API
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
import Autodesk.Revit.DB as DB
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Architecture import *

#import transactionManager and DocumentManager (RevitServices is specific to Dynamo)
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

pf_path = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFilesX86)
sys.path.append(pf_path + '\\IronPython 2.7\\Lib')
clr.AddReference("System.Core")
clr.ImportExtensions(System.Linq)

linkStair = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
linkInstance = UnwrapElement(IN[1])


pathTyp_Id  = DB.FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(DB.Architecture.StairsPathType).FirstElementId()
# retrieve link instance of linkElelemt
linkInstance_stair = linkInstance
if linkInstance_stair is not None:
	# compute LinkElementId
	stairid = DB.LinkElementId(linkInstance_stair.Id, linkStair.Id)
	TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
	newpath = StairsPath.Create(doc, stairid, pathTyp_Id, doc.ActiveView.Id)
	TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
	OUT = newpath

But it returns an error with the id… can someone helps plz ?
