View Template Comparison

[nedward2H4HXT]

Does any one know a way to compare View Templates between two different projects? 

There is a file that we received from another firm and I'm trying to figure out the best way to see if the view templates that they have created match the project requirements that we have in our files.

There is no way to compare VT's that i know of. 

• open 2 sessions and go thru them side by side.
• if they are not named the same you can Transfer Project Standards (Check None, only check VT's in the list) and pull them into your file and compare them that way too.
• you may be able to write a Dynamo script toe export the settings in the VT. I think i remember someone trying that though and it didn't work.

Hey, I came across a similar issue - I'm curious about how to do this in Dynamo - do you have any reccomendations on how to do this? Ideally I would like to have a schedule with all the parameters of the two templates and which value the two templates have in excel. Would love to give it a try
