hi Dkeinys,  
Please find attached My Graph I have created with the help of this forum only may be it can be useful for you.  
it is linked with excel, So view name, View Location on layout, are linked to excel.  
Just check if it is useful

yes, it can you need to do some small updates supply location points on graph it self and view names you need to supply with use of some filter, as I have 500 layout and Each layout has 12 Views (4 plan, 4 Elevation & 4 Section) I need to take help of Excel for combination.

sorry, I forget to tell you that, this script will work with same no. of viewports in different Layout,  
if you want different then you need to either run the script no. of time.  
like 100 Layout sheet with 5 View port (run 1)  
150 Layout sheet with 8 View port (run 2) etc. or do the required change in script.  
Also Viewport location point need to be same as number of View port.

If you want to create One sheet with multiple view on it you need to supply only one sheet,  
Can you please run again and place out put of each process as image so I can check what is wrong. in script.  
as I have prepared script for multiple I have many nodes for cut, chop, drop, Join list. may be those are creating problem.  
If possible if you can place your script with input and revit file will be better

I’m getting this same error. The workaround I tried was to make a list of the same sheet duplicated the number of times I needed.  
Then I tried to join separate sheets into a list of the amount I needed.  
Any insight?
