Hi. I’d like to delete all the view templates not in use before sending the 100% Final Design file to the client. Looking into the forum https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/use-dynamo-to-delete-all-view-templates/4434 I managed to delete all view templates, but first I’d need to remove from the list the…

Hi @franciscusm , This should work : [image] import clr clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') from Autodesk.Revit.DB import* clr.AddReference('RevitServices') from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager doc = DocumentManager.Instance.Cur…

Nice Mostafa! @franciscusm Here is another way: unusedViewTemplates.dyn (5.2 KB) [image]

Thanks both for your replies! Task done, removed 354 unused view templates. I’ve tried both methods, but as we are using Revit 2014 here I’m stuck to Dynamo 0.8, so the second one was lacking updated nodes. Mostafa’s Python script worked fine with 2014. I kept both for my records. Thanks.

I realize this is an old topic. I am doing some View Template work and ran across this thread.

Hi @Paul_Aubin [image] Paul_Aubin: Any idea what these two weird views are? Use View.Name to know. I think those are rendering views.

I was able to filter no problem. I was just wondering about deleting these views from Revit. Thanks.

If there are two of them, I think they pertain to ProjectBrowser and SystemBrowser views. There is even a ViewType for them: http://www.revitapidocs.com/2018.1/bf04dabc-05a3-baf0-3564-f96c0bde3400.htm I don’t think you can delete them. I don’t think you can do anything with them, but that’s becaus…

Well that makes sense. I think that I agree, deleting those would be a bad idea… Thanks.

Hi Mostafa, Sorry to drag up this old topic but I was wondering if you could help with adding an ‘if’ true/false toggle to the code so that it needs a true value to execute the code. I’m trying to make the purging of view templates compatible with DataShapes so I can issue a warning message to the…

[image] Mostafa_El_Ayoubi: This should work : how can the 3d view template types be deleted with dynamo? I can delete with dynamo the view templates of floor plan, rcp, elevation types only but the others remain
