Removing all Orphaned Linked Element Tags in View

,
1

Hey All,

Has anyone ever tried to remove tags from views on linked elements? I’m trying to remove all tags that’s lost their host. But when I try to run any kind of dynamo (Get all elements of Category in View) or python method (Filtered Element Collector) for collecting all elements of type in view I get the “Internal Error”

And even with PyRevit it doesn’t seem to like it. I’m a bit lost as to how I can move forward with this.

Any Ideas??

Hello @shuzmm

try this

import clr
import sys
import System
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
import Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry as DS

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
import Autodesk.Revit.DB as DB

clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

ueWrapper = None
wrappers = clr.GetClrType(Revit.Elements.ElementWrapper).GetMethods()
for w in wrappers:
	if w.ToString().startswith("Revit.Elements.UnknownElement"):
		ueWrapper = w
		break

allTags = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(IndependentTag).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
lostTags = [ueWrapper.Invoke(None, (t, True) ) for t in allTags if t.TaggedElementId.LinkInstanceId == ElementId.InvalidElementId ]

OUT = lostTags
