Reinstalled Revit but can view only.

Hi,

After servicing my laptop I uninstalled and reinstalled Revit 2013. It opened in Viewer mode only. How can I rectify the problem?

Thanks for your advise. I figured out that Revit Viewer was my default.
I see that the Revit Viewer is currently opening my Revit files. This typically happens when one double-clicks on the Revit project file to open it up, and Revit Viewer is set to be the default opening program. Revit Viewer is included in the installation package, and gets installed together with Revit

I would suggest to rather open project files from within Revit’s Open command, as opposed to the method described above.

If you do an Open With... then choose Revit and make it the default, it should always open with full Revit. Just a thought.
