Properties Palette
New to Revit MEP 2011 is the Properties palette. This feature reduces the number of mouse
clicks necessary to access the properties of a model object or project component. You can dock
the Properties palette to the sides, top, or bottom of the screen, or it can fl oat. If you dock the
Properties palette to the same side of the screen as the Project Browser, the two features will
split the docked space, as shown in Figure 1.5.
