11 TIPS TO UNDERSTAND REVIT INTERFACE

1. USE KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

Shortcuts in Revit are used by pressing two letters, no need to press enter. You can add or modify shortcuts by typing KS.

2. ENTER ANY UNITS YOU WANT

Each model has a default unit that is used when you type a value. However, you can type any units you want. For example, in an imperial file, typing 152mm is the same as typing 6.

3. WORK WITH 2 MONITORS

Working with Revit on a single screen is a claustrophobic experience. The best workflow is to put Project Browser and Properties on the 2nd screen.

4. USE RIGHT-CLICK MENU

Right-clicking on an element makes a menu appear. The content is different depending on what is selected. Many useful commands are hidden on this menu.
