How do I rename model parts on the Model Tree?

Question

I am trying to rename model parts on the model tree. I thought I had done this successfully within 3D reviewer but I can't seem to transfer the renamed parts I changed within 3D reviewer back to the main PDF file tree. Any help please?
Thanks in advance for any tips.

One more way to rename nodes is via JavaScript.
The following piece of code picks nodes with numerical suffix
and cuts that suffix to hide it from end user.
var nodes=scene.nodes;
var count=nodes.count;
var index=new Array();
for(i=0; i < count; i++) {
  var mesh=nodes.getByIndex(i);
  var name=mesh.name;
  end=name.lastIndexOf(".")-1;
  if(end > 0) {
    if(name.substr(end,1) == "\001") {
      start=name.lastIndexOf("-")+1;
      n=end-start;
      if(n > 0) {
        index[name.substr(start,n)]=i;
        mesh.name=name.substr(0,start-1);
You may use getByName instead of getByIndex and
use 2 lists, of old and new names.
