Library Project Browser Organization

Hello,

 

I've been tasked with setting up a standard Revit detail library for our office. I'm currently in the process of putting together a standard naming convention for new details that will be added to this detail library. My question is how do I remove the leading text "Drafting view" in the the project browser? (See images below). Does anyone know if this is possible?

Try a different project browser sorting/filtering method.

Do you know a tutorial off hand or have a suggestion for a proper detail view sorting/filtering method for detail libraries? I've been sifting through forums and other online sources without much luck. Any direction is much appreciated!

Here is an example of a custom view organization.  Views are grouped by View Types then by Custom Folder name.  Custom folder is a project parameter assigned to the View category.  Judging by your screenshot, you most likely know it already.

 

I don't see a way to totally get rid of the view type designation from the Browser Organization as you asked, only be able to move them as a group headers so at least they don;t repeat for every view.

Thank you both for your replies! I discovered that our drafting views had several different "Types". I deleted these and lumped them back into one type and was able to successfully achieve the organization I was looking for. Thanks again for your help!
