My question regarding Dynamo on revit is: Is it also possible to load one or multiple model or detail Groups? I tryed to do this, but I think I’m missing something. I tryed the directory path I Hope someone can help me with this. ![Load%20groups](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/1/9/19583b0d955fd158f23991188161c3de1a4f2264.png) ---

Is the issue here that the the `Application.OpenDocumentFile` is only loading one file? ---

Thanks for your quick response. No Dynamo seems to load the groups (i see revit upgrading the groups), but they don’t appear in my browser organisation under Groups/models. Maybe you could help me out here. Greetings, Jesse ---

Afaik the Load As Group command is not exposed in the Revit API. One thing you could try: - Load the file via background open - Group all elements in that file - Copy the group instance to your target file All of these commands are exposed in the API and I’m pretty sure they are available as custom nodes in one package or other. If you had one Revit file that already contained all the groups you need, the process would be even easier. ---

@j.heijtink I made a script that does copy a croup from one document to another hopefully this will help you. I did not find a custom node to do this so I used a python script. You can download the files below. If you have another version of dynamo there is a txt file with the python code. ![Workflow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/7/5729ae1b6c86c2ce375e29689f9f9e0871059d41.png) This is the workflow ![mainfile](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/9/09efa3578e80ed153f6429c4f8ba46a8d2704444.png) The file with the group inside it ![nieuwproject](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/8/6887311d325a1c02e7b88a49684294fb98134e09.png) A new Revit project with no groups ![after%20the%20run](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/3/1/311f35fa290132c7cf21b322489579beb2d08fba.png) After I run the script the group form the mainfile is now in the new project file.

@j.heijtink I downloaded your script, thanks for that but unfortunately the python script doesn’t work Do you have any idea how it is possible? ---
