Is there a way to do this as a “find & replace” like with view names/schedule names/etc…:

here is the phyton code (credits to the original uploader of the code):

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.CurrentDBDocument

views = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(View)
appliedtemplates = [v.ViewTemplateId for v in views]
templates = [v.Id for v in views if v.IsTemplate == True]

OUT = templates

i just tweak it a bit to suit my needs

Thank you for Script this really helps to collect all the view templates with ID’s but view templates created under 3D views are been null

Is there a way to get the 3D view templates also?

Unfortunately 3D View templates cannot be passed through nodes in Dynamo. The only way to work with them is within a block of Python where you get them and do what you need to with them in that same block.

Should you wish to reference them outside that block I suggest using their name, then finding the matching name in a later block of Python as a means of identifying them specifically.
