Remove links without opening the model

[skeletank]

Is there any way in the Revit API to remove links from a model without opening it?

I know that I can use the transmission data class to modify the paths of links with opening the models but I would like to remove the links as well without needing to open the models.  Is this possible?

NOTE: I am using Revit 2014 API.

Removing links is not supported.
As the document for TransmissionData class says, TransmissionData cannot add or remove references to external files.. Set the last parameter to false.

But you can use this class to prevent Revit from loading some references by this method:
public void SetDesiredReferenceData(
ElementId elemId,
ModelPath path,
PathType pathType,
bool shouldLoad
)

Hi Joe,

I am aware that you cannot remove the links using the TransmissionData class but I was hoping that there was a way to do it without opening the document by using a separate part of the API.  However, I missed the part about setting the links up so that they are unloaded by default.  That can be useful in itself.

Thanks,

Matt
