Rename a View

Edit view names to better reflect their content or to simplify project management.

Revit uses default names for project views. You can change view names at any time.

To rename a view from the Project Browser

  1. In the Project Browser, right-click the view name and click Rename, or select the view and press F2.

    As an alternative, you can use a slow double-click to rename a view.

  2. In the Rename View dialog, enter a new name for the view, and click OK.
  3. If a level and other plan views have the exact same name as the view, a dialog displays. Answer Yes or No as appropriate.

    For details, see About Renaming Corresponding Levels and Views.

To rename a view using view properties

  1. Access view properties, using either of the following methods:
    • In the Project Browser, right-click the view name, and click Properties.
    • In the drawing area of the view, right-click, and click View Properties.
  2. On the Properties palette for the view, under Identity Data, for View Name, enter a new name for the view.
  3. Click OK.
