Hi, I’d like to be able to retrieve certain nested (generic model) family’s from family’s in a linked file. So far iam able to search the element that contains the nested family’s iam looking for. However i can’t find a node or any other way arround to get to the nested family’s other then on fam…

@kleinnagelvoort try this using the Orchid package , for filtering nested families, check the following link: [image] Get host and subcomponents Revit @jw.vanasselt check this if it works for you: [Capture] get Nested(deep).dyn (30.8 KB) [image]

It expects Family Instance but was called with Revit.LinkElement. It might be possible to get family instances out of the elements but i dont know how. And even if i get that to work i’d preferably like to get all nested family’s from the revit linked elements. [2022-05-24_14-57-10]

[grafik] @kleinnagelvoort , Native nested instances it does work. KR Andreas

Probably because it’s in the projectbrowser

Is Orchid a trustworthy developer @tradelie ? I found it very strange the way you are suposed to install the packages comparing to all other package creators.

@kleinnagelvoort one of the best!
