Rename

The user can rename the CE and all its members. For example if the CE is named /NAME and has members /NAME-1, /NAME-2, renaming the CE to /NEWNAME automatically renames its members /NEWNAME-1, /NEWNAME-2.

To rename the CE and all its members, on the Building tab, in the Modify group, click Rename to display the Rename window.

From the Rename window, enter a new name in the Name field, to specify the names of the members, select the Confirm names checkbox. If there are too many members, the Confirm names checkbox is greyed out.

The user can choose whether to use any unused names or only use names that are after any existing names. Select the Use gaps in naming sequence checkbox.

From the Source for naming pane of the Rename window, select a source of names. The source is used to calculate the names of the members. There are two ways to select the source:

Select the list displayed in the Source for naming pane of the Rename window.

Alternatively, click Pick source for naming and select the element in the 3D graphical view.

Click Apply to confirm the renaming of the CE and all its members.

Click Dismiss to discard any inputs and close the Rename window.

If the user has selected the Confirm names checkbox, once the user has selected Apply a second Rename window is displayed.

The type, existing name (in parentheses) and the proposed name are displayed for each element. The user can modify the proposed name.

Click OK to rename the CE and all its members and close the Rename window.

Click Cancel to discard any inputs and close the Rename window.
