Schedule Data - Linked Rooms

[Dale.Bartlett]

I have a Room Schedule which displays Rooms from Links. Using the following example, the Elements returned are the Link files, not the Rooms:

 // http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2012/12/accessing-all-element-in-a-schedule.html
        // To get all elements belong to Schedule:
        List<Element> elementsOnSchedule = new FilteredElementCollector(doc, viewSheet.Id)
                                            .WhereElementIsNotElementType()
                                            .ToElements()
                                            .Where(e => !(e is Material))
                                            .ToList();

There is a similar discussion here, with a suggestion to create a temporary schedule containing the Element Id:

Or viewSchedule.GetCellText() could be used to return the contents (e.g. Room Number) and then retrieve the Room Element.

Is there now a means (2017/2018) to directly return the Element from the Schedule, in this case where the Room is in a Link?

Many thanks (again), Dale

Dear Dale,

Thank you for your query.

I am checking with the development team for you.

I hope I'll be able to reply soon.

Best regards,

Dear Dale,

The development team replied:

I don't think you can do this. FilteredElementCollectors only return ids in the host and there's no explicit function to get elements in links out of a schedule.

Sorry.

Cheers,

Jeremy
