Revit File Naming Guidelines

The name of any Revit project file should consist of the project number, project name, Discipline of the model and the Revit version the model is being worked in. The extension is always automatically added to a file name.  You will not have to worry about the extension, but it is important to be able to identify the different types of files you are working with. Revit project files always use the extension “.rvt”.

File Naming Structure
