Join Paul F. Aubin for an in-depth discussion in this video Customizing the user interface, part of Revit Architecture 2016 Essential Training (Imperial).
- If you spend a lot of time working in Revit,…then you will no doubt discover that…screen real estate often becomes a premium.…There's a few different ways that you can…manage your interface to adjust it to your liking,…and one of the things that we can do is…adjust the way the palettes…are organized on the screen.…This would include the Properties palette…and the Project Browser that we talked about…in the last two movies,…but it would also include other palettes…that you can display as well.…If we look over here at the left hand side of the screen,…I have my Properties palette above…my Project Browser in the default configuration.…
This is how it would install out of the box.…But with either of these, you can actually…come over here to the title bar,…click and hold down your mouse,…and tear it away from…the docked location on the screen.…Now you'll see this big gray border,…and when I let go, you'll see that now…the Project Browser is a floating palette.…And you can see that I can…easily move that around on screen.…
