Select Multiple Faces of a Linked Revit

Revit

How can I select multiple faces from linked file in Revit?
Springs has a node Springs.Select LinkedFace, but it only selects one face.

This is the python code for the node:

Hello! I’m sorry, but it doesn’t work for Dynamo in 2.12.0.5740 in Revit 2022. Maybe is there in any packages?
