Menu Bar
The standard Microsoft Windows-based menu bar (see Figure 1.3) is located at the top of the
GUI and provides direct access to all of the commands and settings available in Revit Structure.
Commands with defined shortcuts will have the shortcut key shown to the right of the command
name in the menu.
Toolbars
The default Revit Structure toolbar layout (see Figure 1.4) is located directly below the menu
bar and houses frequently used commands for file management, view navigation, and element
modification. Toolbar and text label display is controlled from the menu bar: Window  Toolbars
or the right-click context menu. Display can also be handled by editing the R e v i t .i n i file, which
will be discussed in a later chapter. Hiding all of the toolbars will completely remove the toolbar
area from the interface. To show them again, you will need to go through the menu bar or edit
the R e v i t .i n i file.
