Summary: Update detail text files for readability and organize by CSI

Description: When we sort through lists it would be easier to see the tree from the forest if lower case letters were used. For instance structural angles in Revit are listed as such: L5X3 1/2X5/16 instead of L5x3 1/2x5/16. It is a simple matter for an Autodesk programmer to batch edit their text files once for all time replacing X with x. Doing so would vastly improve picking members out of lists.

My other wish is to see the details have a rational organization. When I need to find lumber, I have to seek "nominal lumber" for modern sizes. For older sizes I have to find "Rough Lumber." And nails are listed as "Common Nails." These are all Rough Carpentry, Section 06400 items, but are spread out and intermingled with details from other CSI Sections. Autodesk should add the CSI number to each detail so they will sort by CSI section making it easier to find them in the detail families.
