OK, so I've been working on attempting to replicate Revit's copy monitor functionality with no success. Has anyone managed to place and instance of a family on a face when that face is within a linked model? I've already tried implementing many different versions of CreateLinkReference and as of yet have not been able to get it to work. Each time, the exception produced is:
This is interesting as the FamilyPlacementType is in fact WorkPlaneBased so I'm sure it must be an error with the hosting mechanism that I'm unaware of. Any help would be appreciated!!!
A code dump for anyone interested is located on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28387888/place-a-family-instance-on-a-linked-host
also, if anyone needs unit test info, or example files please let me know and I'll gladly supply - hopefully, someone can give me a hand...
