Hi @daniel.tran,

You already asked for a very similar task a few days ago. (with viewTemplates)  
Next time, try for yourself.

You can make a filter to collect only the elevations or use python :

```

import clr
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
# Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
# Import RevitAPI
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from System.Collections.Generic import *
# Import ToDSType(bool) extension method
clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

def tolist(x):
    if hasattr(x,' __iter__'): return x
    else : return [x]

doc = tolist(IN[0])

#collect all views in the model
for d in doc:
	collector = FilteredElementCollector(d)
views = collector.OfClass(View).ToElements()

#sort views into separate lists based on view type
elevations = []

for i in views:
	if not i.IsTemplate:
		if i.ViewType == ViewType.Elevation:
			elevations.append(i.ToDSType(True))
		else:
			continue
#Assign your output to the OUT variable
OUT = elevations

```
