Hi, I’m looking for a method where I can select and delete all Revit elements that are Imported Instances as shown below…
I believe there is an Elements.Delete node in the Archi-lab package. Just filter by name or type or however you want and plug into the delete node.
It may also make more sense to use the Categories node and select only the Imported Instances items. Then you can run those directly through a Delete node.
I was just looking to see if that was possible, but I don’t think import instance is an available category.
Agreed, I can’t find anything
In this case I have temporary elements (that I want to delete) which are treated as Imported Symbols (Categories) not Imported Families…
Yeah, sorry that picture was just to show that ImportInstance isn’t a category you can select using the Categories node. Has nothing to do with the import in families.
No problem. If you don’t mind, can you mark the post that solved your problem as the solution, as it will help people who run into the same problem later.
This should work better for you. It is an element type, not a category.

thanks for this
Rather than that post, you should mark @SeanP’s post below it as the solution.
Newbie lol…
Hi Kenny and Sean, it is working to delete the imported cad in the Revit.
However, I’m going to ask if there is a way to delete every imported symbol in the.rvt families, many thanks
Can you explain a little more about what you are trying to do or show what you’ve tried so far?
I am looking for ‘Element Types’, yet it doesn’t appear…l am sure l have used it in the past, yet recently moved to Revit 2025 and l have tried numerous variations for trying to find it.
Element Class it would appear not in 2025
