Can you show us the preview of the Get All Elements from Linked Model node? Have you checked for unplaced Rooms in the linked model?(they have no geometry) Can you try Geometry+? ---

Get All Elements from Linked Model asks for LinkDoc, not the link instance. I think Clockwork and some other packages have nodes for linked files that provides the actual linkdoc. Use that instead. ---

Hello everyone, I’ve looked everywhere for the **Get Document** node, but I can’t find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated — thank you in advance! ---

That specific node is from archilab. You will also find a similar node that also collects background documents in Crumple (Revit.GetDocuments), as well as a revit link instance/type collector node undet the Collectors node section. Typically i use this node followed by Revit.GetDocument in Crumple to get the corresponding document related to the link itself: > > ---

looks like archilab, but similar can be find in clockwork, spring, bimorph, and probably many more ---
