Copy linked element

Revit
1

i have model with 10 sites i insert it by shared coordinates to site “C” ok i run the below graph it copy element to site “A” so what i want to copy element in same place without looking to site

as i understand you have 10 llinked sites, and now just insert in the current as you show…right ? you will need all linked document with that node i gues and some lacing, list levels, as well…but not sure…hard to say…but guees all these elements…isnt the same place as current…so maybe place them and move by vector or whatever…maybe :wink:

I really like binding links when transferring elements across different models. Simple and effective.

I INSERTED MODEL BY SHARED COORDINATES AS location “B” but when i run script
Copy element go to Location"A" so i want solution to copy element to be in same place regardless location

i have many of elements bind not working

It’s a bit of strange to me since I only think about binding when there is a huge amount of things pending copy. I wouldn’t bother to adjust those visibility settings for just a few elements.

For copying link elements, I think you need to apply the transformation of that link instance as well.

i want to know how can i make this transform
when i make copy it goes to this side

Hm, I’m not sure if there’s a node for that out of the box. But when you copy them via an api call, you get a chance to put a transform there.
CopyElements Method (Document, ICollection(ElementId), Document, Transform, CopyPasteOptions)

You get that transform from that link instance itself.

link_trans = link_inst.GetTotalTransform();

here an example with PythonNet3

thank you, it is work as i want
