Renaming an entire Pipe Network?

Hey everyone,

 

I have a total of 9 pipe networks for the drainage system of a new airport. We're now working towards the 100% delivery, so I want to smoothen things out. I want to rename an entire pipe network in one go.

 

When I read the description of the command "RENAMEPIPENETWORKPARTS" (quote: "If you want to rename many parts within a pipe network, use the Rename Parts command. This command lets you rename one, all, or a sequence of connected parts within a pipe network.") it suggests that you can rename ALL parts in one go. When I try the command however, it only lets me select a starting part and an end part, and it renames everything in between. Doing this for the entire network is going to take a long time, because each network is approximately 2,5km x 1km. 

 

Is there a way to select everything in the network, and rename everything conform my wishes? Or am I pretty screwed here and do I have to do it all manually?

No, unfortunately with this tool it requires selection by start/end. I have a Pipe Networking renaming tool available with Pipe Network Productivity Tools that allows you to do what you are looking for, while also giving more naming reference options. Check it out if interested.

Parts or network?
You could probably XML out and edit?
