User Interface Control
Many components of the Revit MEP 2011 user interface can be turned on or off for workfl ow effi -
ciency or to maximize screen real estate. The User Interface button, located at the far right of the
View tab, allows you to select which user interface components are visible, as shown in Figure 1.8.
This is not only a way to display or remove interface components for more screen real estate
but is also a way to access the Recent Files screen, which cannot be accessed from the Switch
Windows drop-down button.
