DynamoRevit (still) dealing badly with 3D view templates

[andydandy74]

Dynamo version

2.0.1 and earlier

Revit version

Any

Operating system

Any

What did you do?

• Tried to collect all 3D views (including view templates) using Element Types and All Elements of Type nodes
• Tried to select a 3D view template using the Views node

What did you expect to see?

View elements

What did you see instead?

Nulls

Background information

• First reported here: All Elements Of Category fails for views Dynamo#2970
• "Fixed" here: Exculde template view during View3d wrapping #1239 (by simply excluding 3D view templates from collectors)
• Reported again here: DynamoRevit dealing badly with 3D view templates #1636
• Fixed here: 3dview wrapper 2018 #1999

That last PR was merged, but I wonder if it ever made it into a release given the behaviour described above. Apparently it is now about to be reverted anyway (#2283).

And yes, people would like to process 3D view templates with Dynamo:
