2013 API: View Templates

[colmag6]

Does anyone know if the 2013 API allows view templates to be applied to views?

[Phillip_Miller]

Yes it does. Check out "DB.View.ApplyViewTemplateParamaters" and DB.ViewTemplateApplicationOPtion"

Cheers

Thanks very much Philip, I'll check that out.

I thought this would be more simple...

I expected something like this to work...

Dim vTemplate as Autodesk.Revit.DB.View = someView_WhichIsATemplate
Dim targetView as Autodesk.Revit.DB.View = someView
targetView.ApplyViewTemplateParameters(vTemplate)

But, it doesn't work, and Revit throws an exception. Can someone please explain how to assign view templates to views?

I work in C#, so I can't test it but I would suggest this:

Dim vTemplate as Autodesk.Revit.DB.View = someView_WhichIsATemplate
Dim targetView as Autodesk.Revit.DB.View = someView

targetView.ViewTemplateId = vTemplate.Id
