To Renumber Property Set Data

Use this procedure to renumber objects that are included in a schedule or linked to schedule tags. You may want to do this if you moved them in the building model or if you have deleted objects. Only those property definitions with a Type of Auto Increment—Integer can be renumbered with this procedure.

1. Open the tool palette that you want to use, and select the Renumber Data tool.

   A Renumber Data tool is located with the Scheduling and Reporting Tools in the Stock Tool Catalog. You can add this tool to any tool palette.

2. In the Data Renumber dialog box, select the property set to renumber.

   You select the property set that contains the number property. For example, if you renumber doors, you select the DoorObjects property set.

3. Select the start number.
4. Select an increment value.

   Each number in the drawing is increased by this amount in the drawing when the property set data is renumbered. For example, if the start number is 1 and the increment is 3, the sequence would number 1, 4, 7, 10, and so on.

5. Select Attach New Property Set to add a new property set to the numbering sequence.
6. Click OK.
7. Select the object or schedule tag to which you want to assign the new start number, continue renumbering, and press Enter.
Note: Under certain circumstances, such as after Renumber Data during RefEdit, you may see duplicate property set definition names. For example, the property set definition name may be preceded by “$1$.” Modify these property set definitions by opening the attached drawing and making the changes.
