I have a block reference selected and I want to determine what layout this block reference lives on. Any ideas? ---

Get the BlockTableRecord and then use the [LayoutId](https://help.autodesk.com/view/OARX/2024/ENU/?guid=OARX-ManagedRefGuide-Autodesk_AutoCAD_DatabaseServices_BlockTableRecord_LayoutId) property to determine the Layout ---

Amigo @qnliebbe buenas. this is how you can filter the blocks or elements present in each layout, with the Camber package you can get the UI name of the layout (actually it gives me an error don’t notice), note the RealName node is in the OpenMep package for C3D. ![Objects in layouts](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/0/9028371506fabebd74651574ffd1332bfa24c36f.png)
