I am running V14 education version on my teaching station, but my classroom computers are running 13. Can I save a version 14 .tpl file as a version 13.

You can do a save as to v13. And then in v13 save the file as a template.

Thank you that worked, but now when selecting 3d orbit all windows and doors that were applied in plan view get a warning message, "file not found at line---- in the 3d script file" and I have to select continue numerous times. I have tried to reload the V13 libaries, but that didn't work.

when you downsaved, if the objects didn't recognize their v13 equivalents, you'll need to switch the objects. Or if they did, it sounds like there might just be a missing fill (?) or something else that didn't transfer correctly between the versions.

I think it might be a lot of manual hunting now.
