I have a database of elements on a Win-form to show users the elements based on what they select in the winforms. I am stuck when the elements are from a linked model.
There were many forum topics about selecting a revit linked element ( I mean not collecting but selecting them in Revit UI). back then it seems like there was a wish list about exposing the API for this but, Apparently its not exposed yet.
What I want to acheive is to , somehow (select in revit or Override graphics) highlight the linked element by id.
Note : I get to know the element only when the users selects it in the form , so a view filter graphic override wouldn’t work as I cant edit the parameter value of linked elements.
I have been spending almost 3 days on this now, Please help me out.
I already have the element id of the linked element.
What I am struck with is to highlight and show the element tto the user, thats excatly, why I am looking for select in revit or graphic override.
@c.poupin thanks, looks promising,may be I can try to extract the geometry of the linked element(if possible) and use that geometry instead of spheres. I will give it a try thanks.
Hello. i m a new guy in Revit and I came across a similar task of selecting linked elements on View. Please tell me if I understand correctly that in your solution, adding relative spheres to the host model then allows you to select a link object in selection?
