Renaming Spatial Objects

The Rename tool enables you to rename a range of objects with the same name or a shared portion of text. For example, you could change the name of every object containing the text Floor 1 in its name to First Floor instead. Rename is case-sensitive. It is not limited to whole object names, but will also rename portions of text within names that match the Replace text. For example, replacing First with Second will result in an object called First Floor Entrance being renamed to Second Floor Entrance.

To rename objects:

Click or select Data > Rename.
The ‘Rename’ dialog is displayed.
Type the text you want to replace into the Replace box.
Type the new text into the With box.
Select the Scope of your change from these three options:

Selected objects – limits the change to objects you have selected in the workspace.

or
Selected search results – limits the change to objects you have selected within Search Results.

All objects – applies the change to all objects within the model containing the original text.
Click OK to make the change.
A message informs you of the number of changes you made.
