Hi

I have some walls, roofs, and structural framing elements, and I defined a text parameter called Block for them. I am trying to duplicate a plan view, and a sheet, create some view filters to filter those elements with different Block values, and add the filtered plan views to the created sheets.

I managed to duplicate the plan view, and the sheet, but I failed to create view filters in Dynamo using archival/Dynamo nodes without luck!  
It seems the workflow explained in the following link, using archilab nodes, is not valid in Revit 2023 anymore. I only get null values!

Could you help me with the workflow, please?

Regards,

Make sure you are using the right version of [Archi-Lab](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/revit-2022-dynamo-2-10-package-not-showing-up-and-icons-missing/62933/7?). The version you use needs to end with the same number as your Revit build, so get a version which uses 23 for Revit 2023.

Hi @jacob.small  
Thank you for your contribution. I just figured out that the package version was not the issue, but the workflow has been changed a bit.
