You have to “return” a value from the definition. See this as an example.

Python Autodesk.Revit.DB.Viewplan.Create

It pretty much depends on your inputs. It seems that you know that the type of plan that you want to create is at index 6. After quickly checking online I found this great post: Following the code I created a python definition where by inputing the name of the ViewType to create, it returns its ElemetId. If not matching name, returns -1. import System doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument def ViewFamilyIdByName(document, name): type = System.Enum.Parse(ViewFamily, name) vi…

Also, you are not actually calling the function, so even if you return a value in your definition for the function, it will not appear in your output. If you do this:

def hello():
    return "Hello, World!"

OUT = hello()

It will return "Hello, World!". If you do this:

def hello(i):
    return i

OUT = hello("Hello, World!")

It will also return “Hello, World!”
