Coming more and more to terms with Revit and trying to establish a way for me to work with 2D sections that I draw.
Would like to start with all my wall sections (as example) on one sheet> get them all organized and lined up there> Then copy/ paste or cut/ paste to blank sheets keeping everything organized (relatively) as before.
Well Revit doesn't like this idea (apparently) so looking for a work around or a better way of handling.
For the record I never know what I want on a sheet (relationships etc) until well into a project so a method something along the lines of this works for me.
But definitely open to other's ideas as well.
I thought cut/ paste would work since getting rid of the view on the sheet but that did not work. Wonder why......
Any help appreciated.

You could create a parameter named "Test" (or something similar) and associate it with views category to help organize your Project Browser. Duplicate the views and categorize them using this parameter, allowing you to place similar views on different sheets. Although these views are not identical, this approach should help you manage them effectively.

Thanks for the interest. I'm basically doing that now (I think) with copy as dependent. Problem is I want to be able to see all the views side by side as stated above.
You can mock up sheets with "placeholder" building sections/elevations. For example, in your template you can create any number of section views that are likely to get used; building sections, wall sections etc. Put these on sheets so as you start to build the model the sections start showing the model. Move them to locations more appropriate to what you are building and the sheets will update as well.
You ought to look into the long standing practice of creating a "cartoon set" (movie productions create a story board) early on to predict what views will be required. As it happens your template ought to be able to produce a rough cartoon set for you...just print all the sheets at the beginning of a project (blank views) and sketch what you expect to need on them. The more of these typical views you have in your sheet set the closer your cartoon set will be to what you require in the end. The number of special details you need is one variable that will be hard to pin down ahead of time. The standard ones you use all the time should already be on sheets ready for printing and/or editing for the specific building conditions.

Steve- That is helpful. My template is evolving so will incorporate your comments. This is a way that I'm accustomed to working in autocad as well so it's intuitive.
Yes I'm familiar with the cartooning concept and have used in the past and sort of think it through for my projects. But as you mention no real way to predict everythings location and takes a lot of time....
So, seems like most times now I draw the details necessary and organize in Paper space (cad) and like the idea of doing that as well on the revit sheets.
Between your suggestions and TOAN's eye opener I think I'm set with a workflow and a more valuable template.
Thanks!
