Schedule monitored elements

[vitorbortoncello]

I would like to know if there is any method to select or filter monitored elements in a model.
I ask because, in cases where two disciplines develop models that share the same element, I believe the element should not appear in the quantity takeoffs of both models — its existence should be maintained in only one file (presumably the original).

Is it possible to identify or remove only the monitored items from a schedule in Revit?

I am 100% sure that monitored elements from links have a built in "Monitor Status" parameter but I am not sure if this parameter is exposed to the user in all Categories that support copy/monitor. Not at a workstation to check and I do not remember if it is exposed (Sorry) but if it not exposed, you can do the following:

1. Add a project parameter / schedule field Y/N in the model (add to all categories in question)
2. In use dynamo OOTB node either Element.IsMonitored or Element.GetMonitoredLinkElement to collect all monitored ellements
3. Set the value of the Y/N schedule field you created in step 1 based on the list in step 2
4. Finally use the Y/N to filter schedule accordingly
