Dumb question on renumbering sheets: Usually when I need to renumber sheets it is because I have to add a sheet which throws off my sequencing. I can export sheets and renumber in excel with no problems but I hit an issue when I bring things back into Revit since the sheet numbers technically already exist. Is there a way around this that I'm just missing other than swapping letters around - i.e. A101 to B101 to A102?

Depends how you are doing the renumbering from excel: you have to use a tool that let's you specify the processing order, and can work from the top down. I don't recall if yoy can do that with Spreadsheet a link or not. But I imagine you can if you resort the lists a certain way? -
You could do it with excel if you add an extra step. First import/change all your sheet numbers to something else (Like add a letter to the end of the existing numbers, still unique), then import the actual numbers you want.
Personally I made a simple 'Find and replace' tool in dynamo for both sheet and view names. Extremely useful when you want to adjust part of the name for all sheets."One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

Joseph's right, you simply need to add into your script an interim step that renames them to something arbitrary first.
Exiting Names -> Arbitrary (So no conflict) -> New names (Utilising some existing names).
You can use the Clockwork node Passthrough to make sure that your Dynamo sequencing executes in the correct order.

Something like thisAttached Files"One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

Cool! One quick question: Is the Change View Name node a boolean that you renamed?Comment
-
yep. I just gave then names to show what they do.
Probably better to rename them "Boolean - do stuff" to avoid confusion."One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
