I’ve been reading a post from December, and I think the simple answer to my question is that there isn’t a node in any of the major packages that uses Dynamo to open a sheet or a list of sheets. Call View to Open - #2 by jacob.small
It seems like there’s python code from @Nick_Boyts for opening a view, and that can be modified to open a sheet or a list of sheets… if I look into modifying the python code or creating a custom node and use lacing. Am I on the right research path?
