Design Options Panel not enabled

Anonymous — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 08:36:17 GMT

Hello,

Please, I would like to know if it is normal that I cannot find the Design Options Panel in the ribbon. And as a result, I cannot create any Design Options set.

It is typical in the structure version of Revit (the one I have installed) or it shows any error in the installation?

Is there some way to fix it?

Thanks!

Normally this should be available under the manage tab and also visible on the status bar.

I understand that in the LT version of Revit this function is normally switched off, but can be activated in the "Options" menu under "User Interface" (See HERE).

Hello patricia.moreno,

If everything fails you could try to delete your UIState.dat.file that contains your ribbon settings.

It could be that you customized your Ribbon. You will lose the customization to your ribbon if you delete this file.

Revit will create a new dat.file when you start Revit again. This will reset your ribbon to default.

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit <xxxx>\ENU\UIState.dat

I would really like to hear from you if this will solve your problem or you have any more questions.

For all other Forum members, it would be nice if you mark the reply as a “Solution” when it answers your question.

Good Luck,
Niels Oomen
