Hello there! The other day I was trying to tag some elements from linked model according to [Tagging linked file elements using Dynamo](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/tagging-linked-file-elements-using-dynamo/14272). Unfortunately it didn’t work out because and I’d get an error “type object has no attribute create” What can I do with this? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/b/4/b47ef8de7e0fc944366a0b5126014a8b9b9d211b.png) ---

Hi @mironov.boris, Which version of Revit do you use ? Can you provide a sample file with the families ? ---

Ok, so here are the hvac model I link into another one, the tag I’m trying to apply and the script I’m using. [https://dropmefiles.com/lQOkI](https://dropmefiles.com/lQOkI) And I use Revit 2017.2 ---

Hi Boris, It’s not possible to tag linked elements with Revit 2017. This is a limitation of the API. It is possible since Revit 2018 for families. Use _Create Annotation Tag (Multi-Category)_ node instead. ![tags](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/3/23c9db09cceee5400ffd1a7ea46114045c19244b.jpeg) ---

Ok, thanks for clarification, anyway when using _Create Annotation Tag (Multi-Category)_ another error appears: “The element to tag does not exist in the given document” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/7/6785c2d41d3633c029fa4f63017b5d9fb9accefb.png) ---

The clarification should not be explicit enough. With Revit 2017, you can tag only linked rooms. It’s impossible with the other linked elements. The correct node is _Create Annotation Tag (Multi-Category)_ With Revit 2018 and later, it’s possible to tag the linked elements (except spaces and areas). The correct node is _Create Independent Tag_ ---

Well, it’s clear now, thanks 🙂
