It’s good practice to show your solution.

A ‘solved it’ won’t help others with the same challenge :wink:

@1065553 Hey there, I’m also curious of your solution

There’s probably loads of ways to do this depending on where you are starting, but here is an example:

Edit: Ah yes… 3D view templates are still not accessible via the API :-S. Common ADSK! But hey, if you apply your view template to the 3D-view before you duplicate it, all the duplicates should have it applied as well :slight_smile:

Think we can apply a plan viewtemplate and should work

Ah ok.

I just remembered that there was something funny going on with 3D view templates :slight_smile:

Nice! :slight_smile:

Here’s my original answer with the setting of the VT incorporated:

import clr

#Import the Revit API
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

#Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

#Reference the active Document and application
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

#---###Start scripting here:###---#
views = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
vt_Name = IN[1]

fec = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(View).ToElements()

vt = None
for i in fec:
	if i.IsTemplate and i.Name == vt_Name:
		vt=i

#Transaction start:
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
for i in views:
	i.ViewTemplateId = vt.Id
#Transaction end:
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT = views
