Create and Apply a View Template for Sections

1. Finalize one “good” section view first (lineweights, cut fills, depth, visibility).
2. In that view, go to View Template (in Properties):
   • If it’s None, you can still create a template from the current view.
3. Create the template:
   1. View Template dropdown → Show Views (or manage templates).
   2. Select your finished section view.
   3. Click Duplicate and name it clearly (e.g., Section_Template).
4. Apply the template:
   • Open another section → View Template → choose Section_Template.
5. Apply to multiple views quickly:
   • In the Project Browser, multi-select several sections (use Shift/Ctrl).
   • Apply the same View Template so they update consistently.

Tip: Some items (like materials) may not “fix themselves” through templates unless you override visibility/graphics in the template. Prefer correcting materials at the source when possible.
