Resetting Revit 2014 User Interface settings to default OFTB

[drpjjr]

Hi,

Is there an easy way of resetting the User Interface settings (modified configuration of Viewer window/project browser and properties bar) back to the Revit 2014 OFTB settings. My interface got messed up after I accidentally closed the properties bar  and dispite my best efforts have not been able to get it back to the default state. These configuration changes are all saved and I would like to know how I can remove the modified configuration settings.

Many thanks in advance,

Phil Robinson

You can delete or rename the UIState.dat.

Try to read this: Resetting the Autodesk Revit 2012 user interface

Should be the same with Revit 2014.

HI,

Yer, I tried this but it didn't fix things. Could you confirm the location of said file and whether there might be another conf file somewhere that can be recording changes?

Cheers,

Phil

The Problem happened to me when I installed a language pack. Some Icons disappeared from the QuickAccess bar and there was no way to get them back.

Deleting the UIState.dat (C:\Users\"YourUserHere"\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 2014 - (*Windows7)) Solved the problem.

Thanks for the tip!

Kind regards,

Sidd.

I see the link to reset Revit 2012 however I have 2017. I am new to Revit and have somehow deleted the Filter in the Quick Access Tool Bar. It typically shows one (1) element and now it show 0 and will not display a window when I pick on it. Any suggestions on how to restore it?

Close Revit 2017 > Open Windows Explorer (Windows 7)

Go to the Default location for Revit.ini:

C:\Users\(Administrator or Profile Name)\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 2017\Revit.ini

Cut and paste the Revit.ini file to Desktop

Launch Revit 2017 again, verify UI is back to Default.

This should change all of the UI changes made to the installation back to original installer version.

Hi, is there any way where you can modify/ change the settings of default location of Revit Family Libraries?

Basically, any user who login to a workstation is not able to access C:\ Drive and only ADMIN user can access the Drive. When a normal user tries to use Revit 2017, create a new project and insert components, run the Family Library, then it automatically pops-up with a window where you can browse. The problem is that, the user is unable to access the Libraries because its installed in C:\ Drive.

My query is that, is there away where we can change the default settings location instead of C:\ Drive, change and point to D:\ Drive (partition)?

Just need to change the default to a different drive? How do i do that?

Thanks in advance!

Pathing can be changed in the by opening Revit going to the Application Button (Big R or File in 2018) > Options > File Locations.

I made a short Screencast showing the File Path location.

Once the path is changed close out and it will be saved to the Revit.INI file which can be edited and used in Deployments or other standardization processes.

Hope this helps,
