Hi All

Please see below

I do get error if i use linked file element “Object Reference not set to an instance of the object” But If i use file from main model it do work.

Fairly certain it is doable.

We can tell your error is at line 50 or one of the lines proceeding it, so best to start from there. My gut says that it’s related to the Reference, which may not actually work for a linked element the way you’re hoping.

Hi @dkeinys I assume that node is from genius loci

try convert your linked reference with genius conver.linkedrefrence node

Thanks for your time

Line 50 is

dims.append(doc.Create.NewDimension(view, line.ToRevitType(), refer).ToDSType(True))

and i all required is provided but still error.
