Delete Viewport Type - Using Dynamo with DataShape UI

Using Dynamo on Deleting Viewport Type - with DataShape UI
If using Revit OOTB purge can’t select the unused view port type or even selecting/deleting them using Ideate Explorer you may try this Graphs.

This Graphs get all Viewport Types (archilab) and with the help of Data Shapes UI, a dialog with check box pop-up where you can select viewport you want to delete.

(if prompt with Deleting all open views in a project is not allowed this is the default viewport when you are placing views on sheet, I used pyRevit - Wipe Unpurgable Viewport Types but you can also re-name this viewport type and apply your desired annotation symbol so this become your default view port when placing view on sheet.)

Thanks for sharing this code. Those orphaned viewport types are a pesky issue. I attempted to implement the above code in R2025.4.

I run into the problem, that I don’t get the selection checkmarks.

I added “Watch” nodes to find out where the issue may be. Could someone tell me how this works and what I may have done wrong? Is it possible the newer versions of the nodes work differently?

Obviously a big thanks to the original creator. This resolves one of those unexplainable Revit shortcomings that has been driving me crazy every time I insert new views or schedules.
