Rename elements

With the "Rename elements" command you can easily and clearly rename all elements directly in tables, e.g. type names, materials or view filters etc.

Therefor you have to click into a schedule, so the ribbon "Modify" shows up, containing the "Rename Elements" button.

Command „Rename Elements

Tip: With the help of your table and parameters you can make sure (e.g. via formulas) that your designations always correspond to your standards.

Workflow "Rename Elements"

Workflow „Rename Elements“

1. Create an auxiliary column with values that define the new names. Therefore create a unbound column or a defined parameter (see picture "Formula") of the elements.
2. Select all names in the newly created column that you want to rename.
3. Click the command "Rename elements" in the "Management" panel.
4. After renaming all the names, you can delete the created column.

Done. The elements are immediately renamed in Revit and your tables table is updated.

Note: With our "Element Name" feature parameter, you can also rename
elements directly by overwriting the values and then saving them back to
Revit with the "Apply" command.
