Hi, Is it possible to feed Dynamo a directory of Revit project or family files and test whether they contain a certain family? Maybe without opening the actual file?

See if something like this works for you. I don’t have your exact nodes, but I think you can get the idea. Just compare the directory file names to the families, filter those, and then load as needed. Make sure to watch your lacing since you will have list of different lengths. [image]
