How to retrieve the Status and Reference Type of linked files in the document?

Anonymous — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 08:59:59 GMT

I can get the linked files by using FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(RevitLinkInstance), but is it possible to get the Status and Reference Type?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Try using the below code

 FilteredElementCollector Col = new FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(typeof(RevitLinkType));
                foreach(Element e in Col)
                {
                    ExternalFileReference fileRef = e.GetExternalFileReference();
                    //TO GET STATUS 
                    string status =fileRef.GetLinkedFileStatus().ToString();
                    //TO GET REFERENCETYPE
                    string rTYPE = e.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.RVT_LINK_REFERENCE_TYPE).AsValueString();                   
                }

Hi @Anonymous ,

Yes, you can get the name using

 RevitLinkType RLT = e as RevitLinkType;
 string name=RLT.Name;
