Unfortunately revit doesn t have an automatic renumber command to correct the problem.
Revit dynamo renumber doors and windows.
This revit macro automates the process of numbering doors based on their room number.
Here s a before and after example of the macro in action.
Within the ideate renumber dialog you can create rules to be applied when renumbering doors in your project.
Renumber revit sheets using dynamo duration.
Within revit itself this room assignment is most frequently done by the initial door swing placement.
You also have several options for numbering sequence methods.

Since i have been doing a lot more documentation work in revit these days i have become significantly more interested in how dynamo can automate certain documentation tasks.
These methods proved to be either time consuming and or expensive.
Renumber by room tool to mark instances door window furniture based on room number and sequential character letter or number.
The tool allows users to save specific localized sort and mark configuration settings for later use in the current project or a future one.
Ideate renumber can be found along with other ideateapps and ideate software add ons in their own ideate software ribbon on the revit user interface.
Please feel free to comment and help me make it better.
Below is a detailed explanation of how it works so far.
Sort mark automatically sorts graphical elements grids architectural elements doors windows rooms etc and structural elements columns beams etc.
The sort mark extension allows users to sort renumber revit elements in various ways and to add additional information to any selected elements.
Using ideate renumber for managing revit door numbering.
Wherever the door swing is the first time it is placed becomes the to room.
It reads the to room parameter and combines it with a letter sequence to generate the new door number.
Here are a couple more things to know about the macro.
I decided to use.
There are several different ways you can renumber viewports.
In the past architects have either had to do this manually or rely on 3rd party apps such as imaginit.
Door and window elements have the unique revit condition of existing between two rooms yet most often the numbering goal for doors is to associate the door number with a particular room number so listing both is not always useful.
