About this app

In the world of architectural design and modeling, efficiency is key. And when it comes to managing Family Types in Autodesk Revit, the Family Type Rename plugin is a game-changer. This powerful tool allows users to automatically rename Wall, Roof, Ceiling, Floor, Building Pad, and Toposolid Family Types using a customized naming structure, saving both time and effort.

Saving Time and Organizing Your Revit Files

One of the standout features of Family Type Rename is its ability to streamline the process of renaming Family Types. With just a few clicks, users can change the properties of a new or duplicated Wall, Roof, Ceiling, Floor, Building Pad, or Toposolid and click the Family Type Rename button. The plugin will then automatically rename the Family Types according to the specified naming structure.

Imagine the time and effort saved when you no longer have to manually rename each Family Type. This plugin is a true time-saver, allowing you to focus on more important aspects of your design.

Customizable Shortcut for Faster Renaming

Family Type Rename takes efficiency a step further by allowing users to set a customized shortcut for the renaming command. For example, you can set the shortcut as "RNM" for the Rename Family Types command, making the renaming process even faster. This level of customization enhances the user experience and further improves productivity.

Improved Structure Recognition and Error Detection

One of the challenges of working with multiple Wall, Roof, Ceiling, Floor, Building Pad, or Toposolid Types is quickly recognizing their structure when choosing from a dropdown list. Family Type Rename solves this problem by providing a clear naming structure for each Type.

Before the renaming process, the plugin displays a dialog that shows the number of Types that will be renamed, the old names, the new names, and any potential naming errors. This allows users to review the changes before proceeding, ensuring accuracy and minimizing mistakes.

With a simple and intuitive design, Family Type Rename is accessible to both novice and advanced Revit users. Its straightforward settings and easy-to-understand dialogues make the plugin a breeze to navigate.
