如何在 C# 宏中从 revit 卸载所有链接（Revit、CAD、Pointcloud、IFC）

Question

I need to batch unload all linked types from Revit file. So far, I found the code that takes care of Revit links, thanks to one of the posts by

https://stackoverflow.com/users/200443/maxence

// Unload all links
        var loadedExternalFilesRef = new List<RevitLinkType>();
        var collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
        foreach (Element element in collector.OfClass(typeof(RevitLinkType)))
        {
            ExternalFileReference extFileRef = element.GetExternalFileReference();
            if (null == extFileRef || extFileRef.GetLinkedFileStatus() != LinkedFileStatus.Loaded) 
                continue;
            var revitLinkType = (RevitLinkType)element;
            loadedExternalFilesRef.Add(revitLinkType);
            revitLinkType.Unload(null);
        }

I also need to take care of all links, including CAD, IFC, Pointcloud Seems that Revit API does not allow same functionality for CADlinktype.

Please, advise and thank you for help!

I implemented a solution to remove DWF links, CmdRemoveDwfLinks . It is provided as an external command in The Building Coder samples GitHub repo . The full documentation of the command is provided on The Building Coder blog in the discussion on removing DWF Links , including lots of background information and research that may well help you handle other link types as well. Good luck!
