Element ID Management > Sort Order (AC14)

[Scott Bulmer]

Greetings,

Using the Element ID Manager in renumbering doors or windows for an entire building, I believe I formerly would select the doors or windows in the order I wanted them renumbered in, then applied the ID reassignment. Now in AC14 I cannot get this to work. No matter which direction I select the doors/windows to sort in, the sorting always returns an inverted result. In other words renumbering 5 doors to start at D07 will result in the first door being reassigned D12.

Process: Select doors/windows in the desired order of renumbering. In Element ID Manager Sort Elements 'Element ID', then ID Format input the starting value.

The result is always inverted so not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for any thoughts. Scott

Never claimed it was the holy grail...

so you are right, adding one into the middle will require RE-SELECTING... but at that point, you would START at the new door and select only subsequent doors and renumber from the middle... right...

And depending on the timing, I would just add it as a number at the end (already done with energy calcs, for example)..
