DATA & FAMILIES
Type Name Manager.
Manage type names and type parameters for every family through a four-level tree — discipline, category, family, type — editing in bulk in the grid on the right.
01 · THE PROBLEM
Family types are scattered across categories in the Project Browser, and type parameters only open one at a time behind a Type Properties double-click — a project with a few hundred types means a few hundred rounds of open, edit, close, and a duplicate name only shows up once Revit blocks it mid-operation.
300+ type
Renaming or editing a type parameter opens one dialog at a time
The Project Browser shows the family/type tree, but renaming or editing a type parameter still means double-clicking Type Properties, editing, OK, then repeating for the next type.
dừng giữa chừng
A duplicate name only errors out after you've already typed it
Hand-rename your way to type 40 and hit a duplicate, and Revit blocks it on the spot — there's no pre-check list of collisions, so you have to remember exactly where you left off.
mỗi category 1 schedule
Finding empty parameters means a separate schedule per category
There's no cross-category filter for empty parameters — finding types missing Fire Rating or Cost means building a separate schedule per category and scanning it by eye.
gộp tay
No overview grouped by discipline
The Project Browser only organises by Revit's own categories, not by discipline the way a BEP expects — checking how many Structure types are missing data means manually grouping several categories together yourself.

What it does
Magic Rename Tool ($4/month) batch-renames families, types, views and sheets with prefixes, suffixes, find-and-replace and case changes, but its trial caps out at 5 items per session and it only does one job — renaming. No discipline-level drill-down tree, no editing type parameters alongside the rename. Type Name Manager combines browsing and editing in one window:
TOOL INTERFACE · RUNNING IN REVIT
Operational interface and functional overview
The interface is matched to the tool window running in Revit.
MORE IN THIS GROUP
Family ManagerSee every family and type in the project: what is used, what is not, renamed and reloaded in batches.
Parameter ManagerCreate, bind and remove shared parameters by category; find missing parameters before quantity take-off.
Fill ParameterFill parameters in bulk by formula, by location or by room — instead of typing element by element.
