The Survey Point data of a linked model is not the same to when it is self-opened

[bernardpttsang]

I am currently using  FilteredElementCollector class & IsShared property to extract Survey Point data of linked models. However, the extracted Coordinates are different to what I found when I open the linked models. Why?

You'd have to explain some more i.e.

Are you extracting the location or a parameter value for such?

Different how?

Some sample code and empty project files (primary + link) may help also to demonstrate what you are encountering.

For example, I have 2 model files A & B

When I open the models, turn on PBP & SP, say, I may have these data:

A: PBP=100 ; SP=300

B: PBP=100 ; SP=300

But when I open A, then link B and using the coding to extract the survey point data, I got:

A: PBP=100 ; SP=300

B: PBP=100 ; SP=100

B is linked into A with Shared Coordinates, is that the reason?
