Linked Model Ceiling Height Color Fill

I am wondering if anyone has attempted to create some sort of script that is able to color fill the ceiling heights from a linked model? I have looked online but I have not seen anything of the sort. My idea is to be able to open up an RCP and have the ceilings (regardless of type) show up as a different color if they are at 7’-0", 7’-6", 8’-4", etc.

I did come across this page but I was not able to get it to work. My guess is that it was not able to pick up ceilings from a linked model.

Your guess is correct, the method shown here assumes you are in the model that contains the ceilings, and as indicated here, coloring of linked elements is not currently possible within the API

There is an alternative approach that i could think of.
-Get Ceiling Boundaries
-Get heights
-Create Filled region in view that colors them based on that.

A nugget here for the filled region creation.

Good Luck!
