BIM Tools Weekly

- [Instructor] Let's check out the new tabs in Revit. This is pretty awesome. If you've been using Revit a while, you're going to love this. If you haven't been using Revit a while, you're going to say, yeah, of course they would do it like this. Under Models, let's go New. I'll just grab any template. I'll grab Architectural Template. Click OK. We have a tab. Notice the floor plans, Level 1, Level 2. If I open up Level 2, I get a tab. It's pretty cool. Again, if you're new to Revit, you're not going to be that impressed. If you've been using Revit you're going to be pretty happy. What's cool too, is I can grab, say for example, my east elevation, pick and hold, I can drag it over, which is kind of neat. I can go to my 3D view, which is basically empty, although it shows our levels which is another nice new feature which came to us back in 2019. I can grab my 3D view here, pick, hold it, and where's it going? It's going to another monitor is where it's going. Which is really nice. Used to never be able to do that before. If I want to bring it back and I want to park it, till everything turns blue. I'm going to park it back in there. We can type WT, it's the same as we used to do before, Windows Tile. We can type ZA, it zooms all in each view. Now, if we go to the View tab, notice we can switch windows. We can click on Tab Views, and that goes back to the way we had it. We can Tile Views, and that's the same as typing WT for Window Tile. We can Switch Windows. But that's kind of old news now. So I like to go back to Tab Views. If you don't have the View tab open, and the Tab Views, it's kind of hard to tell which one is going to be current. It used to be we could just double click on one of the views and they would take up the whole screen. But this time we can just go back to Tab Views. It's going to bring us back to our tabs. And of course, we can close the tabs as we want. And we can use the old fashioned Close Inactive Views. So, that's a quick video. I was kind of excited about it. I hope you like it.
