About this app

Renaming elements in Autodesk® Revit® models can be a time-consuming and tedious task, especially when dealing with large projects with numerous elements. FORMlab Renamer Revit Add-in offers a solution to this problem by providing a simple and efficient way to batch rename entire element categories in your model with just a few clicks.

The Benefits of Using Renamer

Instead of manually renaming elements one by one, Renamer allows you to use a find-and-replace tool to update multiple elements at once. Whether you need to fix naming inconsistencies, standardize conventions, or update terminology across your project, the bulk renaming functionality of Renamer helps you get the job done faster and more accurately.

The workflow of Renamer is straightforward - simply select an element category from the dropdown menu, enter the text you want to find, and optionally specify what to replace it with. You can also choose to leave the replace field empty if you want to remove the found text from element names. Before making any changes to your model, you can use the Preview button to see exactly which elements will be affected and how their names will change. This preview feature is invaluable in helping you avoid mistakes and ensuring that you get the results you expect.

Renamer works with a wide range of Revit element categories, making it useful for various naming tasks throughout your project lifecycle. From views and sheets to walls and ceilings, you can quickly standardize naming across different element types without the repetitive work of manual editing.
