Trial
This app allows you to name your views the way you always wanted but thought it was too hard to maintain. Using “Reference other view,” it displays the views in sheet and detail number order.
What you can expect from the Egan View Name By Sheet Number application:
It provides a comprehensive view naming system, without the necessity of complicated rules or manual - and error-prone - input from users.
When using “Reference other view,” all views are displayed in a predictable order. See the screenshots below for more information.
When views are added to a sheet they are automatically renamed in the pattern “Sheet Number” “Detail Number” and “Title on Sheet,” for example, “A1.2_3_Roof Detail.” This app uses the Title on Sheet but does not automatically change it, to have as minimal impact on your current workflow as possible.
When views are removed from a sheet, they are renamed back to either the name they had prior to being placed on the sheet, or to the current Title on the Sheet, depending on your selected setting.
Potential view types are Plans, Elevations/ Sections, 3DViews and Details. Any combination of these types may be selected.
Provides a Batch update process to help you get started and a Batch undo to restore your project to its original condition if necessary.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What else should I know about this product?
This app adds a few invisible shared parameters into your project the first time you open your project with this app-enabled. The app uses these parameters to assist in the view naming process and to store the original view name.
When you make the decision to use this app permanently, you can load the shared parameters into your template by opening and saving your template while the app is enabled. Then the app will not need to load the shared parameters into every new project.
This app is licensed by application, not by version. Your license will allow you to use any year’s version on your computer at any time, so the use of this app will not affect your Revit upgrade schedule.
After your trial of this app, if you decide that this naming system is not for you, the app will undo the view naming, returning all views to the original view name.
Previous versions of the app are available on our website https://eganbimresources.com
Are there any known issues with this product?
This app responds to events in the Revit database and must respond to all eligible events to remain up-to-date. Therefore, to get the most value from it, each computer working on a given project must have the app installed.
On workshared projects, when opening a project for the first time, the app may have difficulty adding the necessary shared parameters due to file permissions issues, which may appear as odd error messages like "Central File Unavailable." If this happens, make sure everyone else is out of the project, open the central file, save, exit, and reopen your local file. The shared parameters should now be loaded and ready to use.
When restoring the original view name, the app may not be completely accurate with original names that end in a number (the Revit default naming method) - for example, “Section 2” may be renamed “Section 21.”
Also, when removing views from sheets, renaming to the original name, like Section 1, may not be appropriate. The app has been modified to allow views to be renamed to their current “Title on Sheet” value, making renamed views easier to find in the Project Browser.
