Dimension: Get Linked Revit Element Faces

Hello there,
i am writing a script to make autodimensions in a section view.
First of all, the building is splited into 3 parts, because of the complexity.
So i loaded the goemetry into dynamo by using GetAllElementsFromLinkedModel and filtered several times to check after the intersection with my section view.

Unfortunately i realised that RevitDimension works with References and not only with in this case Intersectionpoints with my sectionplane.

So i filtered after Surface.FilterByOrientation from all horizontal elements and searched after all layers of the compound structure (from a floor for example). So far so good - it works! But only for the elements in the nativ active Revit Model.

Is there any way to get those references from linked models into the dynamo environment to handle those data?

Kind regards
Kevin

You can take the references of all the walls directly, without turning them into a surface, and for this you can use “Wall Edges References” and then “Convert Linked Reference” to convert all references to the corresponding Linked model. You can find all of these node in the GenuisLoci package.

Hey @Durmus_Cesur
thanks for the quick response! But i get this error.
I took the CompoundSurfecesReferences of the floors…

and somehow the reference elements get lost…
