Why does Revit name my views with "Floor Plan:" automatically before my own chosen view name?

[louise_carnefjordAV53N]

Hi!

Got a question regarding the naming of views. Revit automatically names the views with what it is containing. It hasn't done that before and I don't want it to do that. Is there som setting for this? When I try to rename my views the only thing I can change is my own chosen name, for example "PLAN 1, ENTRÉPLAN, HALL 1". And I don't want the view to be named "Floor Plan: PLAN 1, ENTRÉPLAN, HALL 1". It gets kind of confusing looking att the view list. See attached file.

Thank you!

you should change your Browser Organization Properties:

Hi, thank you for your answer. I've tried to do that, but in the settings there isn't anything I can change to make the name go away. I still want to use the browser organization, just don't want the name to pop in.

Change the group by to "Family".

Almost sounds like your Revit INI file setting for SuppressConfirmPlanViewRename has been changed.  I've been there before.  Easy fix.
