# Rename

The following steps will show how to use ReConstruct's Rename option, which can perform simple find & replace operations on tab and/or property names.

# STEP 1:

The first step is to identify a tabs and/or properties you want rename. In our example we will rename any tab including Data in the name (Structural Element Data and HVAC Data) as well as the Name property.

# STEP 2:

Go to General Configuration tab in the iConstruct panel and click on ReConstruct Configuration tool.

# STEP 3:

Click on New button and enter a new template name. Click OK.

# STEP 4:

Go to the Rename tab and define the Find criteria. In our example, we are using an asterisk which allows us to replace a string of text, more specifically the find criteria will look for the word Data including any text infront of it.

# STEP 5:

Name the new tab or property under Replace column (Element Data in our example).

# STEP 6:

Define the replace action from Action drop-down menu.

# STEP 7:

Repeat steps 4-6 for any number of additional replace actions. In our example, we added the second replace action for the Name property.

# STEP 8:

Click Save and Close.

# STEP 9:

We created a new configuration under ReConstruct tab in the iConstruct panel. Click Rename button (or whatever you named it) to start the export. Click OK when exported.
