To create a new view in Revit from a template, which action should be prioritized?

To create a new view in Revit from a template, the action of assigning the template to the view at creation is prioritized because this approach ensures that all relevant settings, styles, and configurations defined in the template are immediately applied to the new view. This process allows the new view to inherit the properties and characteristics specified in the template, streamlining the workflow and maintaining consistency across the design.

When assigning the template during the creation phase, users benefit from a more efficient setup that reflects the desired look and feel of the project right from the outset. This is especially useful for maintaining uniformity in views throughout the project, which can be crucial for documentation and presentation purposes.

In contrast, using an existing view as a template may be helpful, but it typically involves more steps, as you'll need to ensure the existing view has the desired properties before duplicating it. Applying the template after the view is created can lead to additional alterations and may not cover all necessary aspects that the template was designed to manage at the start. Setting the view properties beforehand may also offer some control, but without the immediate application of the template, there’s a risk of inconsistency in how the view aligns with project standards.
