i have a script that can list the number of dwg links and imports in a project, but i was wondering if there was a way to get the file sizes of those links reported through dynamo?

[image] Kirsty_Hogg: what if i want to pull the sizes directly from the project model rather than a directory location on the network? @Kirsty_Hogg Yes it is possible to pull sizes directly from model. There is a method called “ExternalFileUtils” in Revit API to get elements which are externa…

@Kulkul possibly, I’m open to improvement suggestions. Here’s the purpose of the filePath input: [image] So the moment the node is placed on the graph it will report the current document without the user needing to do anything. If they want to audit any file, either another RVT or a Family file, …

@Thomas_Mahon In that case keep I would say all 3 (FilePath,CurrentDoc,Refresh) inputs will be good enough. Users will have a choice if they want to use it in “CurrentDoc” or “External Document”. [image]

@Kulkul I’ve just looked at implementing this but there’s a snag: all the inputs would need satisfying for the node to run, for example, if one wants to report the current document, they would also need to input …a redundant file path.
