Hi @yazanhijazeen32 its still in the latest package, its just been moved to the new `ImportInstance` node class. Full details of what’s changed is detailed [here](https://bimorph.com/bimorphnodes-v4-0-0-for-dynamo-rebuilt-for-revit-2022/).

Yep just use the new query nodes from the report to get the reference view; use the [ImportInstanceReport.OwnerView](https://bimorph.com/bimorph-nodes/importinstancereport-ownerview/) node:
