Do any nodes exist which can “Apply Template Properties” to plans? This is not applying a template, but rather only template properties. Thanks!

Apply the template and then remove it.

use this api [view.ApplyViewTemplateParameters(vt)](https://www.revitapidocs.com/2016/2e27f324-a743-85d3-e232-13df5dbcf58e.htm) whereby vt= viewtemplate for properties to be applied and view is the view you wanna apply the property to.

Applying template and removing it is usually not desired as it will cause the graphs to be slow.

Haven’t seen that, but I will take your word for it.

well you can always try it on 200+ view with their own prefixed view template and apply a new view template without losing the prefixed template properties, it will be madness as i had tried it before. the apply view template properties is much faster and straight forward
