Dynamo script – Rename almost all Rename almost all is a Dynamo script that allows you to search and replace works up to a very short extent in Revit. Rename almost everything in Revit. With the script you can:
- Searching a specific text and replacing it in all Revit families, types, line styles, materials, and more.
- Several modes for search and replace are available: starts with, ends with, contains.
Companies tend to identify families they use or create by the acronym for the company name, or you might identify family categories by another acronym in the name: “AN” for annotation but you want to change it to “TA” as those specific families are tags. Your material might be named by uniformat division but you got it wrong for a hundred of them. Even though the F2 shortcut helps in some areas of Revit, it can be another long journey.
In order to download script, follow the download link above. Then right-click on “BIM1_RenameAlmostAll.dyn” – “Save link as…”.
Workflow:
- Fill in the searched text field.
- Input the replacement text.
- Select the types of elements you want to get renamed.
- Pick the search mode.
