Auto Numbering

Introduction

In today's fast-paced business world, time is a valuable resource. As organizations strive to maximize efficiency and productivity, the automation of repetitive tasks becomes crucial. Digitteck® AutoNumbering™, a Revit plugin, is here to revolutionize the way you handle numbering in your projects. This powerful tool will save you time and effort by automating the numbering process, allowing you to focus on more important aspects of your work.

Streamlining Renumbering

AutoNumbering offers a range of options to cater to your specific renumbering needs. Whether you are working with doors, windows, or rooms, or if you prefer to manually select the family and family type, this plugin has got you covered. The flexibility it provides allows you to streamline your workflow and achieve consistent results with ease.

Renumbering Algorithms

AutoNumbering offers three renumbering algorithms to suit various situations:

Straight Algorithm

The straight algorithm employs a single direction (line) for renumbering. It projects each element onto this line and renumbers them from one side to the other. This method ensures a logical and organized sequence. For more detailed information, you can refer to the "Algorithm For Strategy Straight" page in the plugin's help file.

Straight with Strips Algorithm

Similar to the straight algorithm, the straight with strips algorithm also uses a projection logic. However, instead of a single line, it creates a set of lines and groups the elements within those lines. This grouping allows for separate treatment of elements and offers additional organization options. The straight with strips algorithm is ideal for complex projects with multiple elements to be renumbered.

By Curve Algorithm

The by curve algorithm introduces a more advanced approach by allowing you to define multiple paths to guide the numbering process. The algorithm identifies the closest path for each element and projects them accordingly. The numbering follows the curve from start to end, ensuring a visually appealing result. To learn more about this algorithm, consult the plugin's help file.

Composer: Customizing Numbering

AutoNumbering comes equipped with a composer feature that offers extensive customization options:

• Add a prefix to the number: This allows you to add a specific prefix to the generated numbers, providing further clarity to your project.
• Add a suffix to the number: Similar to the prefix, a suffix can be added to the numbers, offering additional context or information.
• Add a special prefix to the number, if the element is mirrored: When dealing with mirrored elements, AutoNumbering enables you to add a unique prefix to differentiate them.
• Add a special suffix to the number, if the element is mirrored: Similarly, for mirrored elements, a special suffix can be added to distinguish them from their counterparts.
• Format the number to have 0 trailings: AutoNumbering allows you to format the numbers to meet your aesthetic preferences. Adding trailing zeros, such as turning "1" into "001," enhances the overall appearance of the numbering scheme.

Compatibility and Limitations

AutoNumbering is compatible with Autodesk® Revit® Architecture and Revit Structure, specifically designed for families falling within these categories. It seamlessly integrates into your existing Revit workflow, enhancing your productivity. However, please note that the plugin does not support MEP elements.

Conclusion

In the pursuit of maximum efficiency, Digitteck® AutoNumbering™ emerges as a game-changer for Revit users. Its intuitive interface, powerful algorithms, and customizable options make it an essential tool for anyone looking to save time and streamline the renumbering process. With AutoNumbering, you can focus on the creative aspects of your work, confident that the numbering is taken care of. Give this plugin a try and experience the benefits it brings to your workflow.
