Use view templates to control your views? No? Well, you should, especailly if you have more than two elevations and three floor plans. Here is a great tip origionally posted by a peer (the Revit Kid)that I felt important enough to pass on.
When setting up view templates you are provided with almost all the categories that can visually affect drawings, both visually and with regards to properties and parameters of the view. But say you don't want to adjust a certain parameter for all the views associated with that view template? Well, uncheck the box under the 'include' column, and that parameter stays view specific and won't change when you apply the view template.
When might this be beneficial? For something like Far Clipping, where on some elevation views you want to see really far (say to see an exterior wall beyond) and some views you only want to see one foot, just enough to see the immediate elevation so you don't see a bunch of complicated stuff beyond.
You can also use this feature for visibility of elements in linked models if you need to modify them for a particular view (aka, turn off walls from a structural model, or floors from his if you copy/monitored into yours). Personally I prefer to control elements in a linked model with parameters and filters, not by physically opening and modifying their model, or manually hiding elements in an individual view, or not using a view template because so many different view settings are different between the same type of view (aka: elevations).
If you are confused by this, maybe ask someone with a little more experience. View templates can be a little cumbersome to set up, but can be a very simple and efficient way to make sure that all your views will look exactly the same. This 'include' feature just gives you even more power!
