Revit Tip: Using Dynamo to change case of names

by Dennis Collin

Editing data is a constant task in Revit whether it is editing reference marks, comments or sheet names. A question I get asked sometimes is whether there is a batch way to change the case of a door prefix, notes or sheet name. The answer of course is yes, and this can be easily achieved with Dynamo, Revit’s visual scripting environment.

The simple script in the image below, obtains all the sheet elements, takes the Sheet Name property, and toggles the case with a specific change case node. Upper or Lower case is switched by a simple Boolean node renamed to make it more obvious to the user.

For more information on using Dynamo with Revit, refer to some of the other posts on the Cadline Community regarding Dynamo in general, adding prefixes to door and window elements, export and importing data from Excel and coordinate schedules.
