Formatting List to link elements

Revit

Hi,

My aim is to find a way to Link 2 elements together using dynamo so when changes happen in the Revit model I can run this script and they will move with the element.

So basically I’m forcing a surface hosting, I know you can do this using Revit families however my company is not supporting surface hosting at the moment and doesn’t want it in our project so this is the workaround.

Right, so I have mechanical equipment that has an electrical fixture “serving” it (Such as a fuse), this is in the parameters under “Served by” for the mechanical equipment and “serving” for the electrical fixtures.

My question is how can I use this link to make a relationship between the two so I can then start matching the location of each.

I havent got partiular far in my script but I’ve attached both the file and a capture as it might add a bit of sense to this all.

Thanks for the help in advance

EDIT: Found solution I used to Element.ByID on the “Served by” to correctly list the elements in the correct order. For information refer to: http://dynamobim.org/forums/topic/use-id-to-select-objects-in-revit/

Check out the Springs package. Node in there for Element Location. Also check out these other threads which might have something
