This is what I’ve, I add in the string that is connected to \_linkedmodel the name of the linked model. but still it does not seem to work, any ideas? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/8/a89f118afde8954dd3811a549539065a9eb8f2e1.png) ---

@AismailMPH3Y , Be aware to test, whether your annotations and dimension will remain in the model, when you reload the link (changed link)! KR Andreas ---

Look at `Get All Elements from Linked Model` and its inputs. It takes a linked document, so you need to feed it a `Document`, not a string. ---

@AismailMPH3Y , yes because you work with a model that you consume there is no difference… just look in your link manager. ---

Here’s one way to get the linked model document - example using the Revit Architectural demo file ![GetLinkedDocElements](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/4/649611b6532c515b6de83de3112cf0ec005e05c2.png) ---

Hi, The OOTB _Tag.ByElement_ node doesn’t work on linked elements. Use the _Create Tag_ node from the _Genius Loci_ package instead. ---

Thanks for your help! for some reason when I do get all linked elements and see if they are available in my view that I want to create the annotation form, they all come out as false, thats why the create tag node did not work for me, any suggests why? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/4/5/45d2c615c74e31689ccebebe8a5b3e0791bbc4f3.png) ---

Instead of the _IsVisible_ node use the _SelectByCateOrTypeAndView_ node. Connect the inputs LinkInstance of the _SelectByCateOrTypeAndView_ and _Create Tag_ nodes to the chosen RevitLinkInstance. ---
