Hello, I’m trying to use Dynamo to insert views from file, but I can’t find a way to do it. I know it is possible through the API but I’m not very familiar with it. Any thoughts?

@john_pierson Hi john, just wondering if you have a chance on posting or updating rhythm package as you describe on the above link? Thanks a lot for all your efforts.

It appears to be possible. I just have not built the workflow yet. I am finding that time is my biggest enemy lately. :unamused:
