Revit link Reload from

[mgutierrezBM9E9]

List<Element> rvtLinks = new FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(typeof(RevitLinkInstance))
.ToList();

foreach (Element link in rvtLinks)
{
RevitLinkType linkType = link as RevitLinkType;
if (linkType != null)
{

LinkLoadResult loadResult = linkType.LoadFrom(newModelPath, new WorksetConfiguration());

}
else if (link.Name.Contains("Record EC -"))
{
RevitLinkOptions linkOptions = new RevitLinkOptions(false);

LinkLoadResult loadResult = RevitLinkType.Create(doc, newModelPath, linkOptions);
LogTrace($"modelPath directory: {loadResult.ElementId}");

}
//Document linkDoc = link.GetLinkDocument();
}

I'm collecting my linked models and I'm interested in the cases where the link as RevitLinkType return null values as those are the ones that I wish to reload from a local path, particularly for the following 2nd listed model:

I have not found a way to achieve that. All I can do so far with null values is to create a new revit link type. However, this does not fix the issue because the outcome is a revit file linked to the root model at a default location. Instead, I only want to reload them since those models have been already moved and aligned at a certain position.

How can I use the "reload from" command for those listed linked models??

Hi @mgutierrezBM9E9 :

if you link file change location in main revit file , use this api can reload file and not change the real-location in main revit 

 var revitLinkType = doc.GetElement(333166) as RevitLinkType; // deleted a file and let this link vaild and not found
           var status =  revitLinkType.GetLinkedFileStatus();
           if (status == LinkedFileStatus.NotFound)
           {
               var localPath2 = ModelPathUtils.ConvertUserVisiblePathToModelPath(@"D:\B.rvt");
               revitLinkType.LoadFrom(localPath2,new WorksetConfiguration());
           }

Thanks for answering me. Indeed, Ishould've used RevitLinkType instead of RevitLinkInstance
