The assignment itself is a basic two step process:
1. Select a view template to apply as a temporary state
2. Then any property associated with view templates can be modified, but not saved
One of the common frustrations that we at Ideate, Inc. deal with in the improved Revit 2013 View Templates is the inability of individuals to make quick changes to the view, due to it being "locked" to a view template.
Temporary View Properties is a new platform feature that allows you to change view properties without affecting the saved view state. Starting the mode allows changes to the view to meet your current workflow. These changes will not affect the view for printing and will not cause issues while collaborating via worksharing. Using the feature may reduce the need for saving and maintaining working views, although that is not the primary use case.
Selecting “Temporarily Apply Template Properties…” enables you to enter the mode with a current view template applied to the view properties. This enables the mode to be started from a known state.
The menu saves the last 5 view templates that have been used when activating the mode. Once the mode is activated a frame is drawn around the view with the title, “Temporary View Properties” to indicate that the view is temporary.
