IdeateApps: Batch-rename Revit Views and Sheets with Ideate SheetManager

Need to batch-modify Revit view or sheet names/numbers to accommodate Design Options, Phasing, Scope Box, or other prefix/suffix conditions? If so, the Rename function within Ideate SheetManager awaits your discovery. 


Or have you just made a bunch of dependent views with useless names? Again, the Rename function is the answer. It’s an easy fix. Here’s how to do it:


  1. Search for the word “dependent,” then select all the views and right-click to launch Rename

    2. Use the Find/Replace option to swap all the “Dependent 1” names for the corresponding           Scope Box or other logical name, such as “Wing A,” to quickly whip your project back into           shape
