Need to pass item parameters from multiple linked files to an open project

The problem is that I got the elements from the available files, collected the bounding.boxes, but it builds them according to the coordinates from the links and it turns out that it places all the boxes in one place, how can I pass the found coordinates from the available files to them? I read about the methods revitlinkinstance, gettotaltransform, but there c# is only c++, can this be implemented in Dynamo? Or I didn’t understand something. Thanks

hi @keffeben,

You can try this? or use a passthrough Node.

If you want to get the TotalTransform with Python use this code from the internals of one of my Sastrugi nodes. Then use that with the OOTB Transform.Geometry nodes to move your Bounding Boxes :wink:
