I need access to linked files rooms but nodes return "null"

Hey Konrad! So I have tested out the new code and it appears to be working perfectly! The only thing I am struggling with now is Dynamo list management, something I haven’t fully gotten my head around since I’m very comfortable coming from another program who’s name shall not be mentioned.

Rooms from linked files

Thanks,
Andrea

@Mostafa_El_Ayoubi thank you very much for your reply. However, I do not get the two-tiered list you get. Do you have any advice on why that could be?

Hi,

Sorry I’m late to the party but will this script for coppying and pasting rooms from a linked file work if there are no separation lines in the linked file?
