Well, it is based upon another class, but it's exam.cls, which we don't
have a layout for yet. But exam.cls is itself based upon the standard
article class, since we find:
\LoadClass{article}
So I think you can get something close to working simply by copying
article.layout (from yoru LyX system directory) to tda.layout (in your
LyX user directory) and then trying again to import the template. Some
of the constructs will not import 'natively' but as ERT, but it should
still be good enough for you to get started.
I'll try to have a look at this tomorrow and see if I can come up with a
better layout file than the quick and dirty one.

I think you are going to have to do the following:
1. Install tda.cls in your LaTeX setup (park it in an appropriate
location and make sure your LaTeX installation can find it).
2. Create a LyX layout file for the tda class, and store that in your
local LyX directory.
3. Reconfigure LyX so it finds the new layout.
See chapter 5 of the LyX Customization manual for details.
If you're lucky, the tda template will be based upon some standard LaTeX
template (e.g., report or book), and you can get a working layout very
simply: Copy report.layout (say) to tda.layout, and put that into your
LyX user directory. Look at the tda.cls file (or post it here). You are
likely to find some material that shows what it is based upon.

This is one I've not seen before. I'm using lyx-2.3.6.1.
I opened a .lyx document in a new tab and the title does not display in the
tab. It's plain white (see attached screenshot.) Closing and reloading lyx
makes no difference.
Ideas?
