Hi Everyone,
There may already be some info on this, but I couldn’t find any after searching for about 5-10 minutes. That’s why I am here.
I am using Revit 2017.2 with Dynamo 1.3.2.
As usual, I want to do a lot with tags, but am actually hung-up on the most simple step. I can’t seem to collect them from my project. Some categories work, like Foundation Tags. Others do not.
Anyone else come across this issue?
Cheers,
MAtt

Allgemeine Modellbeschriftungen = Generic Model Tags
Someone posted a similar query long back and solved it by uninstalling and reinstalling Dynamo,
See if that works.

Revit was unecessarily reinstalled on my machine. Must be the culprit!
I’ll give it a try and let you know…
Thank you!

Hmmm. Uninstalled everything, reinstalled.
No luck.

For some reason, I was able to collect all of the beam tags, but certain categories just don’t work.
Any help is very much appreaciated!
can you show where it fails?
Hi Marcel,
See screenshot in first post.
It fails at:
All elements of category: Generic Model Tags
Also fails for Dynamo 2.0.2
Cheers,
Matt
This is an older known issue. Follow the github for resolution.

Posted to the dynamo forum and multiple other users confirmed the issue exists f… or them as well. See post here: //forum.dynamobim.com/t/selecting-tags-associated-to-a-linked-model/16118
## Dynamo version
1.2.1
## Revit version
2017.2
## Operating system
Windows 7
## What did you do?
Attempted multiple methods to select tags associated with elements in a linked model. All elements of category, all elements of type, elements in view, select model element, select model elements, IDs to element, and multiple UI selection methods from various packages were tried.
## What did you expect to see?
Selected Revit elements for use in dynamo environment.
## What did you see instead?
Error messages or 'null' in all cases. See attached screenshot of error and screenshot of packages installed (incase it's package related as the forum thought that may be part of the cause).

Hi Jacob,
Thanks for the info.
So if I have one tag associated with a linked model, it will cause the entire category to fail?
Cheers,
Matt
As per that github issue, yes. There is a work-around python code in the issue that you can try.
