Set the same parameter on many view templates at once, through a quick run of native Revit dialogs.
View templates drift apart as a project grows, and bringing one setting back in line normally means editing each template by hand. This pyRevit tool runs a short sequence of dialogs: select your templates, pick the parameter, set the value, confirm, and it applies the change to all of them in one undoable transaction.
What's inside
- One pyRevit button: View Template Manager
- A multi-select list of every view template in the project
- An editable-parameter picker that marks shared parameters and shows the parameter group
- A current-values summary so you see what you are about to change
- Smart value input that adapts to the parameter: Yes/No choices, Detail Level (Coarse, Medium, Fine), a list of common drawing scales, element pickers for Phase, View Template, and Filter, or a text box with unit hints
- A confirmation summary before the change is written
Who this is for
- BIM professionals who want the quickest path to a consistent setting across many templates
- BIM managers tidying view templates on a project
- Revit users transitioning into BIM who want a guided batch edit with built-in value pickers
Requirements
- Autodesk Revit 2021 or newer
- pyRevit installed (free, from pyrevitlabs.io)
- Applies changes in a single, undoable Revit transaction
- Edits whichever parameters are editable on your view templates; read-only parameters are never offered and no special shared parameters are required
What you'll get faster
The view-template fix that usually means opening template after template. Select them, pick the parameter, confirm, and apply the change to every one at once.
