Hello!  
I’m trying to create script which would create sheet, views and schedule for an assembly.  
As a start I picked Tool.AssemblyViews from SteamNodes and successfully managed to add view template and view name functionality. Currently I’m trying to add part of code where I can create schedule (via [CreateSingleCategorySchedule Method (Document, ElementId, ElementId, ElementId, Boolean)](https://www.revitapidocs.com/2017/935a90c4-80e7-7dd7-7f78-592e4f458d5e.htm)). I know that my schedule will always be “structural rebar” category, but I have no idea how to feed it to parameter. I was trying to feed it from input but I don’t think this is a good way (and doesn’t work for me). Also can I put a function in a parameter (viewTemplateRebarSchedule.Id)? Thanks in advance for all help. As you can see I’m a beginer at Python in Dynamo.

Hey! You can find something usefull in this code (which is mainly based on SteamNodes). I made some changes to fit in my script.
