I followed this tutorial to Elevation Views from Rooms:

> **[Module 11 Room Elevation by Curve | Learn Dynamo](http://learndynamo.com/mod11/)**
>
> In this module, learn how to leverage Dynamo and Python to automate the creation of internal room elevations Autodesk Revit with a simple script.

I did some minor modifcations such a searching for Rooms with a specific name,  
My aim is to rename the Elevation Views according to the Room number and name they are in.

This works for one Room I have located on one Floor Plan:

In the project browser:

It makes all the Elevation Views. However, my script fails to rename the Elevation Views correctly if I place multiple rooms. When I place a Room on a different Level I also get an error.

The Node View.ElevationByCurve seems to create names for the ElevationViews.  
My attempt at renaming multiple Elevation viewsfails.

Here I can select the list item to rename a specific ElevationViews by Room, I tried flattening the list. But then it does not rename the ElevationViews anymore.

How can I rename all the ElevationViews with the corresponding Room Name and Room Number?

The Dynamo script:

I’m getting a similar issue; the generated views get a set of “default” names from the Juggernaut node.

I can rename the views by `SetParameterByName("View Name", view_name)`, but after I name the views, I can’t re-run the script without it telling me that I have duplicated view names (say, if I don’t like the elevation view placement distance from the wall and I changed the offset and re-run the script, it won’t let me), I know the reason for that so I tried to set the views with a temporary name first (see code block below), and rename them back to the actual names I wanted, but that still doesn’t work.

@Claus, have you managed to work out a solution? Would be nicer if Juggernaught had a view name input.
