IdeateApps: Using Ideate ReNumber in Schedule Views

Ideate ReNumber can be used in a multitude of situations. For example, you can renumber elements by picking them one by one or by using detail lines that cross through elements or have vertices that touch elements. In some situations, you can automatically renumber elements based on how the rule was created.



But did you know that you can also renumber elements from within a Revit schedule?


If you have a schedule of elements that you want to renumber in the order displayed in your schedule, check out the short video at the bottom of this post. It will help you save a lot of time on renumbering tasks.


Ideate ReNumber is part of our IdeateApps collection of tools designed to simplify the tasks that Revit users perform most often.


Existing IdeateApps customers can request the two custom rules shown in the video by contacting support@ideatesoftware.com.
