I want to specify a thumbnail preview when saving a family

Hi all, i’m a new user so sorry if i miss some basic knowledge about Dynamo.
(And i’m not even good at writing English…)

I want to specify a thumbnail preview when saving a family.

I have created a program that opens the families in the background, deletes the parameters, and saves them.
This program uses many Orchid Packeges.

After launching the family after program execution, a plane view was opened.
This is not the behavior I am looking for, I would like it to be saved in a 3D view.
When saving a family, Revit allows me to specify the 3Dview in the “File save options/thumbnail preview/source”, can I do the same with Dynamo?

Thanks for reading all the way to the end!
I hope you get it resolved.

Thank you for your reply!

I tried the .dyn program in this link, but it saves in floor plans.

Do I need to add anything to this Python script?

One more question.
When I run the program, it creates two backup files.
Is this correct behavior?
