In the Slicer Custom Application Template, [ViewControllers module is disabled by default](https://github.com/KitwareMedical/SlicerCAT/blob/e651f197f56e3378ce094378dd29631c08b25a33/CMakeLists.txt#L114), so you either need to initialize the view defaults yourself or enable the module.

I’ve submitted a pull request to not disable this module by default:

> <https://github.com/KitwareMedical/SlicerCAT/pull/9>
>
> ViewControllers module is responsible for setting default view node properties f…rom application settings.
> 
> Developers may rely on this feature - see for example https://discourse.slicer.org/t/how-to-change-from-radiological-view-to-neurological-view/45744/8.
> 
> Therefore it is better not to disable this module in the template.
