NameConvention

In today's fast-paced architectural design industry, efficient project management and organization are crucial. One of the key components of successful project management is a well-defined naming convention. Whether you are working on small or large-scale projects, naming conventions and standards are required, regardless of whether you implement BIM or not. Inconsistencies and variability in naming conventions often lead to confusion, errors, and loss of time. To address these challenges, Digitteck® has developed the NameConvention™ Revit plugin, a powerful tool that allows you to easily apply naming conventions to your elements and ensure that they are properly set.

Streamline Your Workflow with NameConvention

NameConvention™ provides a comprehensive set of features that streamline the process of applying and managing naming conventions in your Revit projects. One of the notable features is the ability to view all the names currently used in your project, giving you a great overview of the naming landscape. This allows you to identify any inconsistencies or naming errors and rectify them quickly and efficiently.

The plugin also offers a "find and replace" feature, which allows you to make group changes for a selection or all elements in a table. This saves significant time and effort, especially when working on large projects with numerous elements that need to comply with a specific naming convention. Additionally, the "wrap" feature enables you to easily modify naming conventions for different elements, ensuring that your project follows the desired standards.

Effortlessly Manage Various Elements

With NameConvention™, you can manage a wide range of elements within your Revit project. The plugin allows you to change names for Views, including Schedules, Legends, Reports, ViewSheets, and regular Views. This feature is particularly useful when you need to update multiple views quickly and consistently.

Furthermore, the plugin provides the ability to change the name, department, occupancy, and number for Rooms. The flexibility to modify these attributes enhances your project's organization and allows for easier collaboration and coordination.

NameConvention™ also includes a powerful filtering feature for rooms, which enables you to filter them by state, such as Placed, Unplaced, Redundant, or Not Enclosed. This functionality allows you to identify and address any inconsistencies or redundancies in your room elements, ensuring a highly optimized Revit model.

The plugin offers a convenient delete button for most components, making it easy to delete not placed rooms and other elements without the need for complex workflows or manual deletion.

In addition to these features, NameConvention™ allows you to change names for Materials, Areas, DesignOptions, Groups, and Parts. This comprehensive coverage ensures that you can apply consistent naming conventions to all relevant elements in your project, creating a uniform and streamlined workflow.

Excel Integration for Enhanced Productivity

One of the standout features of NameConvention™ is its seamless integration with Excel. The plugin supports exporting, changing, and importing data using Excel, providing a familiar and efficient interface for managing naming conventions. With the "export to Excel" feature, you can make changes to naming conventions in Excel and easily sync them back to your Revit model with a simple click of the Sync button.

Another powerful feature is the ability to export the lexicon to Excel, essentially importing data as a dictionary. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with multiple languages, allowing you to define a set of possible values for an element. This flexibility ensures that your project can cater to different language requirements without compromising on naming conventions or standards.

Conclusion

The Digitteck® NameConvention™ Revit plugin is an invaluable tool for architects, designers, and project managers who want to streamline their workflow and ensure consistent naming conventions across their Revit projects. With its comprehensive features, including the ability to view, find and replace, and wrap naming conventions, as well as its Excel integration, NameConvention™ saves time, minimizes errors, and improves overall project efficiency.
