Hi Rob,

I think that @Elton_Williams meant to say that @Dieter_Vermeulen posted an updated version.  
He added a new section (doors and windows) to his “element-view-generation” workflow.  
it can be downloaded at the link provided by Elton Williams, but you also need to update the BIM4Struc\_Productivity package.

I haven’t tested it yet, but i think it has a little bug (inside the “Create Element View” node).  
If the doors have an angle other then 0, 90, 180, 270 or 360 degrees, (i think) it won’t create correct views.  
For those who are interested see this [topic](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/create-cuboid-as-element-outline/12440?u=mjb-online).

Kind regards,  
Mark
