Quick Access toolbar - Limited icons shown at same time

Anonymous — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 23:18:26 GMT

Hi Guys

In Revit 2019 there seems to be a limit of 16 icons shown at the same time in the quick access toolbar.

In previous version 2016 , 2017 there was never a limit.

Is there anyway this can be expanded to show 20 or more icons? It very annoying clicking the black drop down arrow to show the rest of the icons.

Thanks

I didn't count but there are quite many in the attached. You can add as many as you want, they may not appear right away, then click on the arrow circled in my screenshot back and forth to toggle them on.

I wish i could get that many icons to appear.

But when i add more icons the little black arrow head appears. Refer to image 3, and i have to click on the arrow to show the hidden icons. Refer to image 4

There must be some tick box somewhere in revit that will all me to to unhide all quick access toolbar icons

Thanks

I just yesterday moved my QAT to below the ribbon. Much more room but I'm pretty sure the maximum would depend on the resolution.

Look at my 1st screenshot in the last post. Click on the arrow I circled in red a couple of times to bring all the hidden icons up.

all sorted now.

I click on the arrow and select the hidden icon, i used the icon , but the icon stays hidden, but when i click on another view to work in, all the icons show up. 🙂
