Auto Numbering

Introduction

In today's fast-paced business world, maximizing efficiency and saving time are essential for staying competitive. Many organizations are constantly seeking ways to streamline their workflows and automate repetitive tasks. Digitteck® AutoNumbering™ is a powerful Revit plugin that can save you time and boost productivity by automating the renumbering process.

Effortless Renumbering

AutoNumbering offers multiple options for selecting the type of element you want to renumber. Whether it's Doors, Windows, Rooms, or even manually selecting the Family and Family Type, this plugin has got you covered. With just a few clicks, you can renumber elements across your entire project, eliminating the need for manual numbering and reducing the chances of errors.

Flexible Renumbering Algorithms

AutoNumbering provides three renumbering algorithms to suit different project scenarios:

Straight Algorithm

The Straight algorithm uses a single direction, acting as a line. It projects each item in the filtered selection onto this line and renumbers them accordingly. By choosing this algorithm, you can efficiently renumber elements on one side of the line or the other, simplifying the process and saving valuable time.

Straight with Strips Algorithm

The Straight with Strips algorithm builds upon the foundation of the Straight strategy. Instead of using a single line, it creates multiple lines and groups the elements inside these lines. This allows for more precise renumbering and ensures that elements within each group are treated separately. If your project demands a higher level of organization, this algorithm is a perfect fit.

By Curve Algorithm

The By Curve algorithm offers the most flexibility in renumbering. It enables you to define multiple paths that guide the numbering process. The algorithm automatically determines which elements correspond to each path based on proximity. Elements are then projected onto their respective paths, and the numbering is done by following the curves from start to end. This algorithm is ideal for complex projects with non-linear elements.

Enhancing Numbering Compositions

AutoNumbering's composer feature allows you to customize your numbering scheme to fit your specific needs. You can:

• Add a prefix to the number
• Add a suffix to the number
• Add a special prefix to the number if the element is mirrored
• Add a special suffix to the number if the element is mirrored
• Format the number to have trailing zeros (e.g., 1 can be displayed as 001)

These composition options give you the flexibility to adhere to industry standards or create a numbering system that aligns with your organization's conventions.

Compatibility and Limitations

AutoNumbering seamlessly integrates with Autodesk® Revit® Architecture and Revit Structure, allowing you to work efficiently with elements belonging to these categories. However, please note that the plugin does not currently support MEP elements.

Conclusion

Digitteck® AutoNumbering™ is an invaluable Revit plugin that can significantly improve your productivity and save you time. By automating the renumbering process, you can focus on more critical tasks while maintaining accuracy and precision. With its powerful algorithms and flexible numbering compositions, AutoNumbering empowers you to work smarter and more efficiently. Give it a try and experience the benefits of automated renumbering in your Revit projects.
