Using AI to Batch Rename Pages & Renumber Pages

zzTakeoff includes AI-powered tools to help you efficiently manage multiple pages in your projects. Instead of renaming or renumbering pages one by one, you can apply batch operations that save time and ensure consistency.

When to Use This Feature

• When uploading a set of plans with inconsistent naming conventions.
• When the numbering sequence of pages is incorrect or needs to match a new standard.
• When organizing large projects with many sheets, floors, or phases.

How AI Helps

The AI in zzTakeoff can:

• Detect existing patterns in page names and numbers.
• Suggest consistent naming formats.
• Automatically apply sequential numbering to pages, floors, or sections.
• Handle complex renaming rules such as prefixes, suffixes, or custom numbering schemes.

Steps to Batch Rename Pages

1. Open your project and navigate to the Pages tab.
2. Select the pages you want to rename. You can select multiple pages using checkboxes.
3. Click Batch Rename.
4. Choose a naming pattern or enter a custom name template.

• Example: Floor_##_Plan where ## represents the page number.

1. Review the AI suggestions (optional) and adjust if needed.
2. Click Apply to rename all selected pages at once.

Steps to Batch Renumber Pages

1. Open the project and select the pages you want to renumber.
2. Click Batch Renumber.
3. Set the starting number and increment (e.g., start at 1, increment by 1).
4. The AI will preview the new sequence.
5. Adjust as needed and click Apply to update all page numbers.

Tips & Best Practices

• Always review AI suggestions before applying changes to ensure the naming or numbering fits your project standards.
• Use prefixes or suffixes to categorize pages by floor, section, or discipline.
• For projects with frequent revisions, batch renaming can help keep all versions consistent.

Benefits

• Saves time by avoiding manual renaming or renumbering.
• Reduces errors and maintains consistent page organization.
• Makes large projects easier to navigate and share.
