Hi All,
I’m trying to select groups in a linked file, can anyone see a problem with the attached tree or files?
Thanks in advance,

Hello, the problem lies in your group selection because they are in your linked file. You could try something like this:
or see here:
Hi,
Thanks a lot for getting back to me, that looks like a great idea.
Unfortunately though, I am looking to select Elements (Groups), not a Category.
Would you know of an alternative node?
The only linked file node I have found is the “Elements From Linked File in Room”, which I have tried in this tree.
Thanks,
Mark
Try All Elements of Type in Document from Rhythm
Update: I still get a null result at the moment, I’ll take a closer look at this later.
There is another method with Room.Contains:
OK, last update, it seems to work with All Elements of Type in Document from Rhythm but you need to add a Flatten node just after
Hi,
Thanks for helping, but I can’t see how you are getting groups from a linked file?
I can get groups from the host file, it is the linked file that’s failing…
Thanks,
Mark
Hi,
Thanks,
Awesome, that works!
Interesting, that process still gave nulls if the levels weren’t being used…
I wonder whether the problems are to do with the way that levels are interrogated by the nodes?
Thanks hugely,
Mark
Please start a new thread for a new question. Also, you are NOT doing what the solution posted here suggests. I recommend you try that solution EXACTLY again, and only when that doesn’t work, post a new question.
