Element.Create 3d Cropped View (Steam Nodes) - How To Make It Work Consistently?

[AdamHamilton]

I hate to dig up an old post but I was having the same issues till I worked them out and this seems like as good a spot to put the answer.

The Element.Create 3D Cropped view node from Steam Nodes wouldn’t work unless you are in a 3D View.

doing some modification of it here:

Set default 3d View as active

I am trying to use the Element.Create 3d Cropped view from Steam Nodes…Only problem is it requires you to be in a 3d view or it doesn’t work. I want to set the view to be the default 3d at the start of the script but no matter what I do the transaction doesn’t seem to happen till the script wraps up. I have tried wait nodes and I have tried stepping the process with 2 ui nodes. thoughts?
