Naming Levels and Plan Views

[ADT267]

Scenario:

name all the levels... Level 1, Level 2 etc.

create a plan view... Level 1 Furniture for example.

The view name overwrites the Level Name!!!!

Is there a way to keep the name of the level different from the views?

I dont get the dialogue box that asks the question “Would you like to rename corresponding level and views?”. I think the box was ticked so it doesn't notify me anymore.

Is there a way to get this dialogue box back, when I rename a view or level?

... of course

... go to your level and in the project browser 

... click duplicate view

... duplicate with detailing

... then you can rename it the way you want

... those will be totally independent views

[aRcHiTeCt.JM · Accepted solution]

... I guess I 've missread your post

.... short answer to get back that box that you 've checked:

... Unfortunately, right now there is no way to UNCHECK the checkbox through the Revit interface. The only way to manage it once you can no longer see it is via the Revit.ini file.

You want to look for SuppressConfirmLevelRename and/or the SuppressConfirmPlanViewRename settings under the Messages section of the ini file. The settings are:

• 0 = display the dialog box and user answers Yes or No
• 6 = user has selected Yes and checked the “Do not show me this message again” checkbox
• 7 = user has selected No and checked the “Do not show me this message again” checkbox

So this is how you can undo that checkbox if you hit it accidentally. It’s also a way for BIM Managers to set it to “7” and force people to rename their views and levels independently.

But who would be that sneaky…

worked a treat.

Thank You 🙂

Just choose "No" if you don't what to rename corresponding level.

my Revit.ini file is pretty uneventful "SuppressConfirmLevelRename" or  "SuppressConfirmPlanViewRename' not in there....

Changing this value back to 0 does not reset the setting for me. I closed Revit, made the changes in the Revit.ini file, saved the file, reopened Revit, but no joy. Am I missing something? I followed this as well About the Revit.ini file | Revit 2019 | Autodesk Knowledge Network

Edited for the 1st time!

I opened a new project and and the window pops up when renaming. So it makes me wonder why this is a user setting when the default appears in new projects. Is there a project specific .ini file somewhere?

Edited for the 2nd time!

When I create a new level, and then create a view based on that level. When I rename it, I am getting the window. But is still does not come up for existing views/levels. Again, I thought this was a user setting?
