Hi all:

Can any one help to select element by ID in revit link, I tried in Dynamo. But it gave me no good view found.

So I wanna give the node 8n Dynamo element ID from Navis then Dynamo will select the element in revit and open good view with section box

So you implemented linked element selection by ID in Dynamo, but clicking on the green ID label doesn’t give you a useful view?

check this out. [Create a 3D View for each element in the list of Element IDs - Revit - Dynamo](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/create-a-3d-view-for-each-element-in-the-list-of-element-ids/47843)  
a bit weird though, when I click on linked element id, Revit navigates to it just fine.

Have you confirmed you have a view where the element is visible? Would it be a category you typically have turned off or filtered? It might be worth creating a view with everything turned on and visible just to be sure.
