ADMIN & AUTOMATION
Smart Renamer.
Rename anything in bulk — views, sheets, rooms, families, types, materials, levels, grids — with six modes and a live preview.
01 · THE PROBLEM
In native Revit, renaming means F2, one object at a time, in the Project Browser — no preview, no templates, no batch. Rolling a new naming convention across a whole sheet set or a few hundred rooms means repeating that same manual edit for hours, and every duplicate name stops the operation cold.
1–2 h
Renaming one object at a time with F2
The Project Browser only lets you edit a name in the F2 field, one object at a time; renumbering a 200–300 sheet set to a new standard means two or three hours of repeating that same manual edit.
2 bước
Duplicate names stop the rename mid-way
Try to swap the names of two objects and Revit refuses outright because the target name already exists — you have to park a temporary name first and rename again a second time, and it's easy to lose track of what's already been fixed.

Errors don't surface until you commit
Batch renaming by hand-rolled script or repeated F2 has no upfront warning for duplicates or invalid characters — the error only surfaces when the transaction fails, forcing an undo and a retry.

No way to bulk-import names from Excel
Renaming rooms or views to match an approved Excel list means retyping every row into Revit by hand, or writing a Dynamo script yourself — native Revit has no CSV import for renaming.

What it does
On the Autodesk App Store, rename add-ins stop at one mode each: Renamer (free) is find & replace per category; Ideate SheetManager, part of the paid IdeateApps subscription, is also find & replace only, and it's limited to views and sheets — it doesn't touch rooms, families, materials, levels or grids. Smart Renamer folds six modes — find & replace, pattern template, prefix/suffix, case transform, number sequence, CSV import — into one window that spans every one of those object types:
