Querying Linked Revit Files for Shared Site Information

[jmmiller]

Hello All,

I am trying to query linked models to obtain their Shared Site settings in the links instance properties. My current approach is not yielding any results. See images and attached graph.

Yes, so that parameter doesn’t really store any information. You will need to dig down into the linked document and pull the current active location:

OUT = UnwrapElement(IN[0]).GetLinkDocument().ActiveProjectLocation

Now, you can use that object to get what you need from it. Here’s a link to how to get XYZ info about that object.

Translating coordinates to site coordinates

It’s not a list so you can’t access it like one. First thing that comes back is Enumerable which means you can call a “for” loop on it: for i in doc.ProjectLocations or more pythonic: [x for x in doc.ProjectLocations] Now, what you will get back is a list of ProjectLocation objects. If you need their offsets like EastWest or NorthSouth you need to actually query their SiteLocation and since that is an indexer, it will need a point value as input called like this: position = location.GetProj…
