change case

[Anonymous]

Hi!

Can you tell me please how can I change in Revit upper case text to lower case or opposite?

Thank you

Fair point, although, if that's the lengths you needed to go to you'd probably be better off copying the data and modifying it in a dedicated word processor to get it how you want it then paste it back in. While the Revit text tools have improved they are still pretty basic in comparison to a dedicated platform.

To be honest, I find that it's enough to use a tool for generally changing the case, and then tweaking it manually afterwards.  Why? Because there are so many "special cases" where I don't want something changed to lower case.  For example:
"20 MPa concrete"
"as per OBC 3.2.2.2.(4)(b)"

... and so on.  Even if I spent time trying to program (Dynamo, PyRevit, or a macro) all these exceptions, I could never be sure there wasn't something I hadn't accounted for, and would have to read it over anyway.  So it would be a lot of effort for little gained -- at least for my situation.  Therefore, using a quick-and-dirty method for converting uppercase to sentence case is good enough.  So whether it's PyRevit or an online case-changing tool I keep open in my browser, those are sufficient for me.

When editing Revit text-objects the text editor you get a toolbar that offers changing case.
It can only change text in one text-frame at a time.

But it has issues with special characters like Åå Ää Öö and Üü Ïï when Revit exports to DWG.
A Revit bug makes these remain as lower case in the DWGs.
