Hello Dynamo Community! This is my first post but it for sure won´t be the last one! I´m pretty new to Dynamo and Revit and i`m having fun experimenting and lerning. I´m having trouble with my first script and would appreciate your help. Task: 1. find all views with specific view template 2. set new view template (e.g.: wall\_views\_filter) 3. set another view template (e.g.: wall\_views) Reason: Our worklflow is to have a filter-template for our view types. For example, we have a wall\_views template and a corresponding wall\_views\_filter template. We first apply the \_filter template to our views and then the other template in wich filters are not “included”. So if i want to make changes to the \_filter template i would like to update all wall-views with the wall\_views\_filter template and set them back to wall\_views in a last step. I found a script here in this forum that does part 1 and 2. But i can`t figure out how to set another view template after. Here is what i have so far. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/4/a441b68b17d37093127cef331da5ffe78ae9f832.png) Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Gerhard ---

Welcome to the community! The Views.SetViewTemplate node should pass the list of views through to the node output. What happens when you chain a second SetViewTemplate to the first? ---

You may need to include separate transactions between applying each template. ---

Hy Robert, thank you! If i make a second chain like this it skips the “test 2” template, and directly sets the template “test 3”. So it skips the template that would be my \_filter template, so no filters are applyed. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/3/d3f384bec543d419db7a1948026c73d5274a2b01.png) ---

Thanks Nick, but i have now idea how to do this. My result is a node output of one view, how to start a seperate transaction from there? ---

There are nodes for this. You need to apply each template within a pair of Start/End Transaction nodes. ---
