Well, you still can. In the Revit menus, you may have noticed that many
items have a two- or three-letter abbreviation to the right. This is the key-
board shortcut associated with the command. If you want, you can make
your own, or you can modify existing keyboard shortcuts. In Windows
Explorer, go to C:\Program Files\Revit Architecture 2010\
Program\ KeyboardShortcuts.txt
. Within this .txt file, you can
find the shortcut you wish to add. By removing the semicolon, you can put
your shortcut between the quotation marks. For example, change the string
that looks like this:
menu:”Window-Arrange Icons”
to this:
“WA”menu:”Window-Arrange Icons”
Save the text file. The setting will not take effect until you close Revit
Architecture and open it back up again.
8. With the windows tiled, you can see the Level 1 floor plan along with
the 3D view to the side. Select one of the walls in the Level 1 floor plan.
