I am creating python script to apply view template.
Everything working well but at line 78 there is error (I have upload error image for your reference).
Could you please help to solve this error?

Add an output to confirm your list of views and templates. I’m guessing you have an item in there somewhere that isn’t what you think it is - likely a view type or incompatible view template.
EDIT: I also can’t run your code as the indenting is off at the ‘IBMS’ check. The code still runs but that whole loop is being skipped. Are you expecting to update multiple views or just one? Because right now you’re only returning the final view.
Here’s a bit of cleaned up code that might get you started:
# Collect all floor plan views in the document
collector = FilteredElementCollector(doc)
floor_plan_views = collector.OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Views).OfClass(ViewPlan).ToElements()
view_templates = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(View).ToElements()
out = []
# Loop through the floor plan views which contains 'OVERALL' & 'IBMS'
for view in floor_plan_views:
template = None
if 'OVERALL' in view.Name and 'IBMS' in view.Name:
for vt in view_templates:
if vt.Name == template_name_11:
template = vt
break
if template:
# Apply the view template to the current view
view.ViewTemplateId= template.Id
out.append([view,template,view.ViewTemplateId])
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
OUT = out
Right now I’m returning the view, the template, and the Id just so you have an idea of which views you’re dealing with.
I am expecting to apply view template to multiple views.
Currently old view template is applied for those views & now trying to apply new view template.
I am at learning stage and trying to create python code.
Appreciate for your help.
I have updated python code as below but giving error at line 75 (refer attached snip)
