Greetings! Revit 2018.3, Dynamo Core 2.0.1.5055, Dynamo Revit 2.0.1.5065 Shout out to @jostein_olsen for their Twitter post that inspired me to look into this functionality & @Einar_Raknes for lending his expertise in the post . I referenced the older post that Jostein referenced: [Copy rebar from one element to another](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/copy-rebar-from-one-element-to-another/7431) I tried recreating from the beginning to understand how it worked, but I am running into a problem with the List.Equals node not returning a true value when it compares the host list with the element I have selected. ![List-Equals%20post-2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/b/5/b5a539001f07e0ec6d1cadcaf5f58c02428d3ba3.PNG) Has this node changed since this older post? Do i need to flatten the list from the GetRebarHost node, or am I completely missing something? any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you all for your time. Mike ---

The input type of the “Equals” node changed. It previously worked on a single object (var), it now works on a variable rank input(var[]…[]). You can check that if you hover over the input ports. Try setting the port level at @L1 for both ports. ---

Dimitar, Thank you for your reply. I tried that, but still no joy. I have attached my graph and the revit file i was using for testing. If you have time to take a look, that would be great. Thank you for your time.

I tried going a different way and I think I got a little farther, but have hit another wall. This is what I have so far, please correct me if i am wrong, I have selected the rebars in the project and I have selected the elements hosting those rebars. I then filtered the host list down to the specific element I am interested in, but now I have two lists one of rebars and one for the host and I can not think of a way to put those two lists together. I mean I can see the index for the host list IS the rebar, but how do I inflate the list to show that index is actually a rebar element? any and all help is appreciated. I have included my updated graph and revit test file.

I’m not sure if I am making any progress or not. I seem to keep hitting a wall. Anyway, I hope someone out there can shed some light on this for me. I have my list of rebars and hosts grouped together, but I can not figure out what kind of filtering or sorting node I need to trim the list down to only the host item i am interested in copying the rebars from. any suggestions are welcome. Thank you for reading. I have attached my graph. ![copy%20rebar-2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/e/de9cd0f5675ce7064fe95eacfcd0425272565de1.PNG) [MDC Rebar Copy.dyn](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/7bxiQSXz9WZJnlsDZL9p5DS5lI8.dyn) (38.8 KB)
