I used to know how to do this and thought it was under Manage->Additional Settings but Nope...

My template file has too many viewport view title types, I want to delete these, where can I find them?

Tried a purge but the names do not show up in the list and they are not being used in other views.  As I remember it there is this crazy little place to find them but can't seem to remember

Thanks

View titles are a family..... Annotation symbols.

Are you referring to the title type or the viewport type? If you mean the title, WWHub is correct, in your project brower, expand families and then annotation symbols. Your title types are found in there, just right click and delete.

If you mean your viewport types, you should be able to purge all unused types. If they don't appear in the purge list, that means it is being used somewhere that is maybe hidden somehow.

Maybe the two viewport view title types are system families? 

check out my image and see what you think.

Ah yes, you are probably correct that they are system families.  You can rename the system ones but you can not delete them.

Do you have any idea what the Section 1 is predefined for?  It doesn't look to have any special or different setting than any of the other view titles.  Why would they create a system family called Section1 without any different setting options?  Seems to be a very specific name to be the same as all the rest?

I don't know but the default Section one doesn't show a title or a line so why not rename it to NO TITLE and use it?

Yes, this is what I am going to do.

Just didn't want to use a "specificly named" type for something that it wasn't designed for.  Just wanted to educate myself befor blasting off renaming stuff and using the wrong tool for the wrong thing.  Revit can be tricky like that sometimes...

Thanks for your help
