I use Autodesk Revit 2019. Is it possible to get the list of all linked model files that appear in a plan or section views that are placed in a Revit Sheet using Dynamo for Revit 2019? I am open to utilizing Python script as part of a custom node.
Any lead is appreciated on which nodes and custom scripts that I can use.
Purpose of this requirement: I have a lot of Revit Links loaded into the main model and it takes up almost 20 GBs of space when loaded and clogs up the C Drive. Some times I can’t even print the PDF sheets while this is happening and the Revit / PDF Creator programs become unresponsive. Once we get the links that are not required for the sheet views, we can unload to free up some spaces. That is the idea basically.
Yes it should be possible, i dont select manuelly any linkinstance and you could select all linkintance at once…but you could find out if the views are placed on sheet…archilab have a node isonsheet or try genius loci collector of placed views…try show your graph where you are now
RVT Links From Views on Sheet.dyn (13.6 KB)
OBS this takes RVT Links only. if you want to take imported instances it needs some more work. if you need that i suggest trying to find the model category for imported instances from the collector node at the start
Hi Stefan,
Many thanks, It works really good. I had some trouble getting the right Package versions and IronPython dependancies but ultimately it worked.
[Dyn and PNG files along with Sample RVT Parent and Link Files. ] Right now these are RVT 2024 Version Files. Will try and provide RVT 2019 Files shortly. (index)
