Rename and move models

Renaming or moving a model does not republish it or break its links.

Models in a folder can link to each other

Model shown: Snowdon Towers, a Revit sample project © Autodesk, Inc.

Steps

  1. 1

    Rename

    Right-click a model or a folder and choose Rename.

  2. 2

    Make a folder

    Press New folder at the top of the folder you are in.

  3. 3

    Move

    Drag a model onto a folder, or right-click it and choose Move… to pick the folder.

Good to know

  • Nothing is republished and no central is recreated: a rename or a move changes where the model is listed.

  • Links into a model follow it, because a link points at the model, not at its path.

  • To move several at once, Ctrl-click them, then drag any one of them.
