Tools.AssemblyViews (SteamNodes): View Creation Failed

Packages
1

Hi, I’m getting an error from the node Tools Assembly Views of Steam Nodes:
It creates the views and sheet that I want, but it stops at placing the titleblock and assemblyviews with this error:
Line 80: View creation Failed
Wich is this line: sh=AssemblyViewUtils.CreateSheet(doc,a,tb)

What is going wrong? :confused:

I’m using Revit 2019, Dynamo 2.0.3 and Steam Nodes 1.2.4

Well…
I know what went wrong: The titleblock i fed into the node is a family instance but it needs a family type to work! :rofl:
