    Lightbulb Revit Wall Naming Convention

    Okay, I have attached a pdf of my first major stab at Revit Wall Naming conventions.

    I know that some of you will probably hate it cause it's encrypted and complicated while others of you will hopefully like it for just that reason.

    I would really appreciate some "critical" feedback for this. What are your thoughts...what pitfalls do you see...what benefits.

    Feel free to ask me to clarify anything.

    I am not looking for comments like..."too complicated..." but if you think it is, tell why and how it could affect our workflow in Revit. I know it's complicated, I want to know WHY you think it is and what problems you forsee.

    I hope this thread will help fellow reviteers in their standards endeavor as well, particularly with walls.

    On a side note, I wish there was a way to "hard coat" the wall name from the wall construction we set up for the wall in Revit. The major pitfall I see of any naming of walls is that if you ever edit/change the wall type composition, you have to manually update the name...just a thought.
