Hi everyone,

I found this YouTube video which is exactly what I am trying to achieve compliments of AussieBIMGuru.

I have rebuilt it twice, step-by-step & now I have a custom node error which I have no idea how to fix.

Unfortunatelt the author of steamnodes hasnt maintained their package well so it has errors as it comes.

Try my alternative script here:

Hello Gavin,

Do you have a solution only for the node itself?  
In need to place specific schedules on specific views.  
I’ve added the files in my post.

Try the Viewport Create node in Rhythm instead.
