Try All Elements of Category with a category of Lines instead.

yes it is model line. Element.type node is available in package but not visible in dynamo why? (i have seen node by package - manage package - show content). so i connect cable tray types as per above image. but dynamo get hang. see the image

It’s likely for an old version of Dynamo. I recommend clearing out your package library and rebuilding with Dynamo 2.x version packages only as these will be more reliable in Dynamo 2.x.

IE: Clockwork for Dynamo 2.x.y where x and y are the largest number available.

What I meant by ‘what is the error’ is the text which shows up if you hover over the little yellow dialog tag above the node with an error.

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/8/3/836278c44b142311f3782e48479836bdca985c48.jpeg)

Hover over that and it will tell you what the problem is. Copy the text into the forum so we can help you out.
