How to get linked elements?

[Draxl_Andreas]

Hello,

i tried to find some stuff, but it never matches with my collecter. so how do i get Elements from linked files f.e. walls ?

import clr

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import *

clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import *

clr.AddReference('System')
from System.Collections.Generic import List

clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uidoc=DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument
linkedDoc = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(RevitLinkInstance)

elelist = UnwrapElement(linkedDoc)

outlist=[]

for ele in elelist:
		type_id = ele.GetTypeId()
		ele_type = doc.GetElement(type_id)
		ele_fam = ele_type.Family
		ele_name = ele_fam.Name
		outlist.append(ele_name)

OUT = outlist

@Draxl_Andreas

linkedDoc = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(RevitLinkInstance)

Have you tried:

linkedDoc = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(RevitLinkInstance).ToElements()

@leonard.moelders

linkedDoc = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(RevitLinkInstance).ToElements()

@leonard.moelders ,

does not work

import clr

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import *

clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import *

clr.AddReference('System')

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uidoc=DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument
linkedDoc = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(RevitLinkInstance).ToElements()

elelist = UnwrapElement(linkedDoc)

outlist=[]

for ele in elelist:
		type_id = ele.GetTypeId()
		ele_type = doc.GetElement(type_id)
		ele_fam = ele_type.Family
		ele_name = ele_fam.Name
		outlist.append(ele_name)

OUT = outlist

Hi,
an example

import clr

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import *

clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import *

clr.AddReference('System')
from System.Collections.Generic import List

clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uidoc=DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument


lst_rvt_link_inst = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(RevitLinkInstance)

outlist=[]
for inst in lst_rvt_link_inst:
	if RevitLinkType.IsLoaded(doc, inst.GetTypeId()):
		lnkdoc = inst.GetLinkDocument()
		elelist = FilteredElementCollector(lnkdoc).OfClass(FamilyInstance)
		for ele in elelist:
			type_id = ele.GetTypeId()
			ele_type = lnkdoc.GetElement(type_id)
			ele_fam = ele_type.Family
			ele_name = ele_fam.Name
			outlist.append(ele_name)

OUT = outlist

@Draxl_Andreas I know it got solved, but what would happen if you use .FamilyName as the property instead of .Family as it doesn’t exist for RevitLinkType in your old code:

@leonard.moelders ,

i modived it a little to my disieres…

import clr

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import *

clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import *

clr.AddReference('System')
from System.Collections.Generic import List

clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uidoc=DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument


lst_rvt_link_inst = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(RevitLinkInstance)

walls=[]
outlist = []

for inst in lst_rvt_link_inst:
	if RevitLinkType.IsLoaded(doc, inst.GetTypeId()):
		lnkdoc = inst.GetLinkDocument()
		elelist = FilteredElementCollector(lnkdoc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Walls)
		for e in elelist:
			outlist.append(e)

OUT = outlist

@Draxl_Andreas I meant more like this:

import clr

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure import *

clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI')
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import *

clr.AddReference('System')
from System.Collections.Generic import List

clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uidoc=DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication.ActiveUIDocument
linkedDoc = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(RevitLinkInstance)

elelist = UnwrapElement(linkedDoc)

outlist=[]

for ele in elelist:
		type_id = ele.GetTypeId()
		ele_type = doc.GetElement(type_id)
		ele_famname = ele_type.FamilyName
		outlist.append(ele_famname)

OUT = outlist
