Access 3d View with document open in the background

Packages
1

I am trying to access 3D views in a file that is open in the background. I have seen older thread that used Genius Loci get 3d views. I have found in more recent release of Loci 3DView Collector. Is it possible this node will not collect 3d views that have a view template?

Please help if you know a node or have python script that can get all the 3D views out of a document opened in the background.

This one works for me it collects all the views ,you could filter down later for just 3d views…

This line doesn’t seem to work, I dont know why. but, solves the purpose in our case

if view.ViewType == ViewType.ThreeD:

import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
import Autodesk

clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager

doc = IN[1]

collector = FilteredElementCollector(doc)
views = collector.OfClass(View).ToElements()
viewlist = list()

#myView =[]
for view in views:	

	if view.ViewType == ViewType.ThreeD:
		if not(view.IsTemplate):
			viewlist.append(view)
	else:
		viewlist.append(view)
		
		
	#if view.Name == IN[0]:
			#myView = view
#if myView == []:
	#myView = " Can't find a view by that name"
	
		
	
OUT = viewlist

There are 11 3d views that are not in the list.

import clr
clr.AddReference(‘RevitAPI’)
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
import Autodesk

clr.AddReference(“RevitServices”)
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager

doc = IN[0]

collector = FilteredElementCollector(doc)
views = collector.OfClass(View).ToElements()
viewlist = list()

myView =
for view in views:

if view.ViewType == ViewType.ThreeD:
	if not(view.IsTemplate):
		viewlist.append(view.Name)
#else:
	#viewlist.append(view.Name)

OUT = viewlist
