Can't get bounding box or geometry from linked structural connection plate

Hi all,

I am used to working with bounding boxes and solids but suddenly I encountered something weird:

I have the following element in a linked model:

If I use RevitLookup (of course I tried myself with the API first) this is what I get:

heziTYJKR_1-1649336404403.png

Also I get null when I try to get geometry from it.

 

If I recreate this element in the current document, everything works as expected:

heziTYJKR_2-1649336660314.png

 

Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

 

Thanks!

If worst comes to worst, you can open the linked document, retrieve the bounding box in that environment, and transform it to the host project using the appropriate transformation. That may increase the size of the bounding box, by the way, depending on the axis alignment.,

Unfortunately, it is not possible because the links are too heavy and it needs to happen in a single quick action.
