I’m having a problem whenever i use the Phases node.  
Dynamo crashes and returns with this error :

Before you install orchid. First install these:

- Dynamo 1.3.4

- Make sure you’re using Orchid for Dynamo 1.3.x installation.

Install Dynamo 1.3.4 and then install [Orchid Package](https://github.com/erfajo/OrchidForDynamo).

If you want to use it for Dynamo 1.3.1 then install older version of [orchid package](https://github.com/erfajo/OrchidForDynamo).

130 is the oldest that orchids version right?  
we will be updating to Dynamo 2.0 soon…

but i still want to have my old Dynamo 1.3 version though.
