Layer Organiser is a productivity plugin for Autodesk® Alias® that helps maintain clean, consistent object naming throughout your model.

 

The Problem

When working in Alias, objects often retain default names like "Curve1", "Surface2", or names inherited from imported data. This creates confusion when:

• Exchanging data with engineering teams
• Reviewing models in downstream applications
• Collaborating across departments

 

The Solution

Layer Organiser automatically renames all objects in your model to match their parent layer name. If a layer contains multiple objects, they are numbered sequentially (e.g., "Body_Side", "Body_Side_2", "Body_Side_3").

 

Key Features

• One-click operation – Rename all objects in your model instantly
• Intelligent numbering – Handles multiple objects per layer automatically
• Non-destructive – Only changes object names, not geometry or layer structure
• Seamless integration – Accessible from the Layers menu in Alias

 

Use Cases

• Preparing models for data exchange with CAD/CAE teams
• Cleaning up imported data from external sources
• Standardising naming conventions across projects
• Improving model readability and organisation
