Renumber Mark Parameters in Revit

Kobi Toolkit for Revit, Revit

Kobi Toolkit for Revit offers several Renumbering tools, Renumber by Room, Renumber Mark Parameter, Renumber Grid etc. One of the most popular is Renumber Mark Parameter which allows you to renumber picked instances in the model and updates the Mark parameter according to chosen settings in the model (Alphabetically, Numeric…). Its versatile use helps designers daily and justifies an investment by saving valuable time.

“I am using your re-numbering tool right now. We are working on a 158,000sf Hospital addition and I had to copy a floor up 4 levels. Now I need to re-number those floors. It is truly a fantastic tool. That alone is worth the cost!” Adam Brown, Senior Designer at Chianis + Anderson Architects

In the video below you can see how to use Renumber tool to Renumber Mark Parameter.

To avoid renumbering elements one by one, use the more advanced option. Use Manage Calculated Parameters to automatically renumber multiple elements at once.

How to quickly renumber elements in Revit - Kobi Toolkit for Revit

Renumbering elements one by one can be tedious. To help you save valuable time, we will show you how to speed this up and renumber all the elements with just a few clicks.

Let’s look at this example where we have a group of structural foundations that we want to renumber by changing the “Mark” identity data.

Option 1

  1. Select the elements that you want to renumber.
  2. Go to the “Content Admin Kit” tab and select “Manage Calculated Parameters”. Here, you can see that some definitions are already pre-set, but you can create and define new ones as well.
  3. To create a new Definition, make a copy of an existing one. Change the “Rule name” and define which parameter you want to affect. We will leave it at “Mark”.
  4. Define a rule for a category of elements from the entire model, from an active view, filter, or just for the elements from the “Active Selection”. For this example, we will leave it at the last option.
  5. Under “Formula”, define the direction of renumbering. For this case, the renumbering will go in the direction Y, X, Z. The “Formula” window gives you more flexibility.
  6. Before selecting “OK”, ensure you have selected the definition that you want to apply to your elements.
  7. Now all the elements will be successfully renumbered from left to right and from bottom to top.
  8. If elements are moved, run the definition again to apply the defined renumbering formula.
  9. For quick access to your definitions, select “Execute Calculated Parameters”.

Option 2

The second option allows you to renumber mark parameters based on preferred format by selecting the elements in the desired order.

  1. Under the tool “Renumber”, select “Renumber Mark Parameter”. Here, define the format of renumbering you want to apply. In this case, we will define it by grid values.
  2. Select “OK” and simply select the elements in the order you want the renumbering to apply.

We hope this will help you save some valuable time.
