I’m trying to transfer parameter values from an element to a part associated to that element. In this case, the element is in a link file. I’ve been able to identify the element ID of the items I want to transfer info from. With the parts I’m able to get the element ID of the host element of each of the parts. I feel like I should be able to filter my parts based on these element ID and then transfer the parameter info (Pier Length value in this case). What am I missing? Below is what I’ve got so far. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/2/d2d926ba74a76cac96c58585d62540d70b55f54c.png) ---

Hello again, you should reload the graph because this one is unreadable, but you could also possibly find an answer here: > [@Get Top Level Parameter from Linked Columns](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/get-top-level-parameter-from-linked-columns/8140): > > I need to get the Level parameters out of Linked Columns. I have been able to get out their Bounding Box, Mark and some other parameters but I really need the Level. My end-game is to have a Graph which will draw a small floor at the top of the column which contains the same Mark and Level of the Column below it. I have made a Graph which applies Floors on top of all Columns. But I really need the correct Level information in the Floor as well as the ability to apply the Floors on a given Lev… ---

@Yna_Db Sorry about that. I’ve edited my initial post with a better graph. I will take a look at the other post you suggested later today. Thanks! ---

@Yna_Db I was able to simplify my graph a little bit, but am still having a problem. The Parts.GetParents node won’t work for parts made from linked elements. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/6/66cb5cd7a03b012f078895d885d03644266890bc.jpg) ---

The closest to your need I could find is from Bakery: > **[Group:Bakery.Parts – Dynamo Nodes](https://dynamonodes.com/tag/groupbakery-parts/)** > > Posts about Group:Bakery.Parts written by lukesjohnson and also this (but I can’t make it work): > [@Get Type Parameter from Link file?](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/get-type-parameter-from-link-file/973): > > Hi i use Element.GetFromLinkedFile to get instance parameter from link elements [Cable Tray] but when i try to get type parameter of same elements i get null message. is that possible get type Parameter from link file elements such as [Cost] [Type Mark] [Key Note] [URL]etc. ? or i just did something wrong. Thanks for your cooperation [1-27-2015 1-24-04 PM] ---

Hi @David3 Here is one of the possible way… ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/1/01e30b702ad027b21913d56c6489b39da8a3f0ae.png) ---

@Kulkul I can’t thank you enough!!! It took me awhile to wrap my head around it, but I was able to apply what you showed to get what I was after! I’m going back through my original graph to better organize and simplify. I will post when I’m done. 🙂 ---

My final graph. If anyone see’s anything that could be simplified, let me know! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/e/7/e7f3d96d09ea6efb953b8f48e641346a9d9e77c5.png)
