Batch Rename Views

Batch Rename Views

Views

Autodesk® Revit® add-in for batch renaming views and schedules using a composable syntax with placeholders, case transformations, conditional suffixes, and find & replace.

Overview

  • Batch Rename Views lets you rename any number of views and schedules in one operation using a flexible composable naming syntax - without touching each view individually.
  • The tool lists all views and schedules with key properties including dependency (Parent, Dependent), type, current name, parent view name, assigned Scope Box, phase, level, sheet number, and view template. A preview column shows the resolved new name before any changes are applied, highlighting names that differ from the current one.
  • Build a rename expression using placeholder buttons: {View Name}, {Parent Name}, {Scope Box}, {Sheet Number}, {Level}, and {Phase}. Apply case transformations using <U></U> (uppercase) and <L></L> (lowercase) tags. Use <NS></NS> tags to conditionally suppress name segments when any placeholder inside resolves to an empty value.
  • A Find & Replace option with optional RegEx support allows fine-tuning of resolved names. The view list can be filtered by type and by column value using Contains, Starts With, or Ends With matching.
