Rename, Detail Number, Excel and Quick Print
The steps and conditions below follow the current implementation. Runtime evidence is identified separately; availability of every command on the installed ribbon has not been verified.
Open BimSpeed.ARC → Sheet Tool. Parameter to Excel and Excel Sheet are in Drawing. Use dedicated practice views/sheets and review scope/data before Run or Export.
Three Rename workflows
The General/Hau Rename window has Sheet/View tabs, All In Project / Current Selection and selection tables. Add Numbering, Replace, Insert or Capitalization rules and order them before Rename/Apply. Numbering includes Start/End strings, starting values, digit count and numbering style. Replace has Find/Replace; Insert uses start/end/index. Capitalization has upper, title, first-letter and lower modes. Reset clears proposed edits; Save/Open Rule manage rules. Delete View can delete actual views rather than a naming rule: identify the action carefully.
View Rename provides Selected Views / All In Model, parameter filtering and Filter String. Add/Remove view changes targets; Refresh reloads them. Add/Remove/Up/Down rule establishes transform order; Save/Delete profile manages rules. Associated Level and Number with From/Step provide generated text. Run writes names; Excel Import/Export exchanges tables. Check duplicate names and resulting sheet titles.
Sheet Rename is a separate window with Selected Sheets / All In Model and Sheet Number / Sheet Name targets. Configure parameter/filter, rules/profile and target sheets. Import/Export alone does not establish model updates; use Run and check unique sheet numbers. The Hau Rename window is not evidence for this entry.
Detail Number
Open a Sheet. Choose Alphabet / Number, Prefix, Start, Suffix and Step, click Ok and follow selection prompts. This updates viewport Detail Number rather than Sheet Number or View Name. Check already used values and selection order. New collision/Properties evidence remains pending.
Parameter to Excel
The HTConstruction window selects element scope and parameters before export. This is element data, separate from creating sheets. New output workbooks/UI captures are missing, so its complete controls, units and instance/type handling are unconfirmed. Compare IDs, categories and representative values before using exports for QS.
Mapped controls: Save/Delete Preset manages selections. Choose Category loads available parameters; >> / << adds/removes selected columns and Up/Down orders them. Preview Export / Export Excel reviews/writes a workbook. Preview Import / Import Excel reads data and can write back to the model. Check IDs, read-only fields and one trial change before broad import; export evidence alone does not verify roundtrip synchronisation.
Excel Sheet
Open Excel Template opens the supplied format. Path Excel / Load Excel imports rows; review them and Ok creates sheets. Use a template from the same release rather than guessed columns or Parameter to Excel output. Verify unique Sheet Numbers, names and title blocks. New workbook/RVT output remains pending.
Quick Print
Print Range / View Sheet Set, Filter and Select All define scope. Naming Rule supports saved rules and parameter-based construction. Select the Output Path and check potential filename collisions.
| Branch | Controls and checks |
|---|---|
| Printer, Vector/Raster processing, Raster Quality and Colors. View Links In Blue applies to colour output. Hide options, Region Edges, Scope Boxes and Halftone affect graphics. Some source labels repeat “Hide”, so live/output comparison is required before assigning each label a definitive meaning. | |
| Combine PDFs | Combined PDF Name, Select PDFs, ordered add/remove and Combine. Delete PDF Files After Combine can remove selected source files; leave it off when preserving practice inputs. |
| DWG | Export Settings, ACAD Version, optional combine/name and Sheet Number/Name to Title Block text mapping. |
| DWF / DWFx | Format, Element Properties, Rooms/Spaces/Areas, Texture, Standard/Compressed Raster, Image Quality and combine/name. |
| IFC | Compatible Export Setup IFC; inspect output against the selected setup. |
| Export / Help | Export runs enabled formats; Help opens guidance. Check folder, file count, paper size, lines/text and a cropped sheet. |
PDF printing, driver operation, merging and publication quality remain unverified. The DWG-only export result is described below; a settings screenshot alone does not establish output quality.
View Rename: inspect targets before Run
In ①, use Selected Views for a limited scope or All In Model for the broader list. Group By groups sources; Search filters names. Move selected views down into ③; the up arrow removes targets and Refresh rereads data. This image has source views but no target rows.
In ②, + adds a rule, − removes one and the arrows reorder rules. Rules run in sequence, so Replace then Number can differ from Number then Replace. The profile list, disk and X manage rule presets; this X is not a Delete View button. Compare Current Name and New Name in ③, resolve empty/duplicate names, then ④ Run. Excel buttons exchange the table; they do not replace Run. Check Status, Project Browser names and one sheet viewport, then save separately. This screenshot verifies the UI, not a successful rename.
Detail Number: a viewport sequence
Choose ① Number or Alphabet. ② Prefix / Suffix wrap the sequence; Start sets its first value and Step the increment between picked viewports. Number, Start 1, Step 1 and Prefix A- would request A-1, A-2…; this is a configuration example, not values written in the screenshot. ③ Ok accepts settings, followed by the sheet selection prompt. Verify viewport Detail Number, separately from Sheet Number. Close/X exits configuration; save after checking uniqueness on that sheet.
Parameter to Excel: locale and verification limit
The current window remains Vietnamese in an English Revit session, so an English screenshot is not substituted. The observed controls choose/delete a preset, choose Category, search available parameters, move columns with >> / <<, reorder them with up/down and preview before export/import. Select Category before expecting parameter rows. Export preview and import preview are different operations; Import can write model data. Preserve the input and check element IDs, read-only columns and two representative values before applying. The observed window had no category or data rows; no exported/imported workbook is verified here.
Quick Print: two checkboxes share one label
This is the real English Export Settings area, not an exported PDF. ① The .pdf / .dwg / .dwf / .dwfx / IFC checkboxes determine formats included in Export; changing tabs alone does not disable another format. Printer Name was empty: the PDFCreator dependency required by this tool was missing. Its installation prompt was declined, so no PDF/merge result is verified. Configure a valid supported printer before PDF printing.
② Vector Processing / Raster Processing choose processing mode; Raster Quality and Color set quality/colour. No print output establishes which mode suits this model. ③ Two controls read Hide Crop Boundaries: the left checkbox binds to hiding unreferenced view tags; the right hides crop boundaries. Check position rather than relying on the duplicated label. Hide scope boxes, Hide Ref/Work Planes, Region Edges Mask Coincident Lines and Replace Halftone With Thin Lines affect output; View Links In Blue applies to colour prints.
④ Combine PDFS enables the combined name and PDF selection controls. They are disabled in this image. Check file order, use a new output name and inspect every merged page. Keep source PDFs when comparing results.
Quick Print: DWG exported; PDF driver still missing
For sheet C101, one sheet was selected with output name DOCS_QP and a new separate folder. In ①, only .dwg is enabled and .pdf is off, so this run does not print through PDFCreator. ② Files of type=AutoCAD2018. Export DWG Setup is blank here; no custom named setup is claimed. ③ Combine multiple files into a single document is off, leaving Combined Name/title-block text mapping disabled.
Export created a nonempty DOCS_QP.dwg. On your model, check file count and open the DWG in CAD to compare title block, lines, text, scale and source-sheet views. File existence does not establish approved graphics/layout; the illustrated project's DWG remains private and is not a public download. PDF/merge remain unverified because a supported printer is missing.
