I’m making a graph designed to create sheets by plan views.  
The first step is to collect the plan views (then filter them by some project parameter). That’s where I use the **View Type** node.  
The problem: Whenever I shut down the graph file and then re-open or re-run it, an additional View Type output port appears on the node. The connector jumps down to bottom output and the node gives an error message.  
So each use, I have to delete the node, recreate it, and reconnect it in order for the script to work.  
Unfortunately, It’s not the first time I see this happening with nodes. Am I the only one?  
I’m using dynamo 2.0.1 with Revit 2019.1

Thanks everyone!

This happens with nodes built for 1.3.3 but used in 2.0. Check for a more current package if one is available.

Nope. No updates for the package.  
In fact, it looks like Archilab stopped producing it all together.

Check this link, looks like another package or newer Revit may help.

> Hello, I’m having some trouble with the View Type node. It works great when I first load it. However, after I save, close and reopen my dyn file, it doesn’t work anymore. I get an error message along with additional outputs. While troubleshooting, I found that if I replace it with a fresh view type node it will work again with only one output. I’m not sure if I should update the archi-lab package to solve the problem as I’m currently running Revit versions 2016-through 2018. This issue is ult…

Alright, problem solved. I found the new package (spelled “[archi-lab.net](http://archi-lab.net)”) and updated it.  
Thanks!
