API: Place Detail Group in View

API: Place Detail Group in View

Currently, if we need to place detail groups into a view with the API, the approach is:

 

- change active view

- call PlaceGroup()

 

However, when running on Design Automation, we don't have access to the UI and therefor we cannot set UIDocument.Activeview. 

 

It would be nice if PlaceGroup() could take in a View as the argument.
