BIM Q&A | How to Retrieve the Location of RevitLinkInstance Linked Models

To obtain the location of a linked model within a RevitLinkInstance, you can use the GetTransform() method. This method returns a transformation matrix that represents the relative position between the center of the linked file and the center of the current project file.

Here is an example in C#:

[csharp] view plain copy
foreach (RevitLinkInstance element in linkInstances)
{
  var transform = element.GetTransform(); // Obtain the relative transformation
  var location = transform.Origin; // Get the origin point
}
