Rename Family Names

I am tying to create a script to rename families in a project, we are updating our library to match BIM Iso naming standards, I have collected elements and got as far as trying Element.Setname to rename them but cant get it working. Sorry new user so cant paste what I have done yet. Thanks guys

Hi there and welcome to the community!

Whilst this is definitely possible with Dynamo, I would recommend you check out the free plugin by DiRoots called “Family Reviser” (found here).

I have used it a lot to find & replace family names across an entire library of families with the dropdown option for system families also. You can also save and export them from here, it really is a great tool.
