I need to reload multiple revit link instance. My problem is that i need to reload from… multiple files from a different location and with different filename.
For instance; we name our files as:
Archi = X_Archi
Plumbing = X_Plumbing
I have a mixed file loaded in my project, the ones with the “X” and the ones without the “X”
I need to reload from those files without the “X”
I cannot remove and relink the file as i already have filters and hide elements set…
I am trying to use this but it’s not working as the filename is different.
My other concern is that we are using a network drive without a letter assigned to it. So if i use the directory path node, i cannot browse to the proper project folder.
Continuing the discussion from Reload links from list of path:
Hi @Revit_Noob,
I advise you to use the Repath RevitLinkInstance node.
It works with a filepath for each linkInstance to reload.
how about the filename? because the file with the x and without the x are in different directories…
if i repath the file without the x to the directory of the file with the x it will not be found…
Sorry, your problem is not clear to me.
1_Identify the linkInstances that you need to repath,
2_Provide a new file path for each linkInstance.
So 2 lists :
List of LinkInstances,
List of filepaths
I have 2 directories, say D1 and D2. Their filenames are the same except that D2 has a “X” prefix.
My linked files consists of both with and without the prefix.
I need to repath those links without the prefix to D2.
Your graph should work.
I will have done something more automatic

Thanks so much! will try this one out.
My concern is that our network drive does not come with a letter “c:” or something else.
So when i use the Directory.Path node i cannot browse to the folder.
Problem solved. Thanks so much @Alban_de_Chasteigner for your assistance.
@Alban_de_Chasteigner, one more question, i would like to reload all the links in the same folder.
We upgraded our revit version from 2017 to 2019.
All linked files are currecnt “filename-R17.rvt”, i want them to be repath to the same directory but to the file-R19" files,
how can i do that?
Hi,
This new issue isn’t related to your original subject and the use of the Repath RevitLinkInstance node and is now a matter of managing lists of filenames.
I’ve already solved your original problem so start a new topic and I will show you how to answer this new question.
