Copy Sheets with Views between Revit models

Actually I was thinking about something like this this morning and as far as I know other programs like Archicad allow to do that.

Somebody suggested yesterday in the office to replace the whole model by an updated one and recreate again hundreds of sheets/views in the new model… No way.

As far as both models are similar (same view templates, coordinates system and location, etc. ) like a different version of the same project is perfectly feasible.

A view is basically a ‘window’ to the model with some extra properties.
If the needed properties from an existing view are extracted and another view is created with the same properties in another model, it should work.

The more relevant properties are the CropBox, view name, view template, type of view… I believe everything that is needed can be read and written in dynamo.

For instance these are a few of the view properties snooped with RevitLookup addin:
