Hello everyone,

I’m trying to place views on sheet using steam node but its not working and giving null

The work flow takes room boundary, crop plan, place the cropped plan view and key plan from (area plan)  
on sheet.

Any suggestions[Export room pictures v1.dyn](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/eMvkdI0F7o4FWAklo53zz6ICwSS.dyn) (32.3 KB)

Thanks sir, it did workout that way I really appreciate the help.

I think I will try to edit the node python code, to not use the chop list node

Hey Gaber, were you able to modify/update the script to avoid using the chop list node? also do you guys know the logic behind why the list needs to be chopped?
