Delete View Templates (Revit pyRevit Tool)

See which view templates are actually used, then clear out the rest.

View templates accumulate across a project until nobody knows which ones matter. This pyRevit tool lists every template with the number of views using it, highlights the unused ones, and lets you delete them in a reviewed, single-transaction pass.

What's inside

• One pyRevit button: View Template Cleanup
• An audit dialog listing every view template with its usage count and view type
• Unused templates highlighted and sorted to the top
• A filter box and select-all for fast triage
• Safe deletion that removes the template assignment from any in-use template first

Who this is for

• BIM managers standardising a project or company template
• BIM professionals cleaning inherited models before issue
• Revit users transitioning into BIM who want to understand template usage before deleting

Requirements

• Autodesk Revit 2021 or newer
• pyRevit installed (free, from pyrevitlabs.io)
• Runs in a single confirmable, undoable Revit transaction

What you'll get faster

The guesswork of which templates are safe to remove. Usage counts make the unused ones obvious, so a template audit takes minutes.
