Improvements & Fixes:

Ideate ReNumber

This version of Ideate ReNumber has been modified to support MEP Fabrication Parts and also includes new multi-category workflow rules suggested by customers.

Rules added to Basic folder

MC-FAB_by_Assembly – multi-category rule that works for all MEP Fabrication Parts. This rule re-starts the numbering within each Revit Assembly.

MC-FAB_by_Space – multi-category rule that works for all MEP Fabrication Parts. This rule re-starts the numbering within each Revit Space (yes, we know where these Parts are!)

MEP Fabrication Pipework, MEP Fabrication Hangers, MEP Fabrication Containment and MEP Fabrication Ductwork

MC-Doors_Windows- use this rule when numbering both Doors and Windows at the same time.

Rules added to Bonus folder

Sheets - 1 of ##.rule - automate the page numbering of Sheets from a Sheet Schedule.

MC-COBie-Assets - automate the numbering COBie-defined assets. This rule references the parameter called COBie.Component.AssetIdentifier which is part of Autodesk's BIM Operability toolkit. The rule can be adjusted to use any other parameter.

Ideate QuickSelect

In addition to supporting new-to-Revit elements, such as the Path of Travel element and PDF (raster images), this version of Ideate QuickSelect has also been improved to help easily identify different types of Revit keynotes as shown.
