Inactive Default Phases & Filters

[LRAndrews]

Ok, I'm feeling a bit silly here, so forgive the dumb question... I downloaded Revit 2021 a few weeks ago and haven't done much with it until today.  However, today I created a new project using the "out of the box" Architectural template (shame on me for not going to my own templates - it was supposed to be an easy 1-day project).  No issues initially until I tried to change the Phase and Phase Filter settings for the floor plan I was working on.  I have noticed the Phasing is set to defaults within the program but I can't get them to change with the dropdowns like I used to with older versions.  Is anyone else having that problem?  I've also noticed that most of the dropdowns now show up in the middle of my screen instead of right at the arrow I have clicked on as you would expect it to...???  I have installed all available updates and hotfixes for all of my Autodesk software and restarted my computer but that did not change the issues.  Any suggestions?  It's acting as if the phasing is locked down by the program itself based on the view I have open where I have always been able to change that at will in previous versions.  I did go through the "Phases" section in the Manage tab and everything I expected to see by default is there, so I'm not sure why those options don't populate using the dropdown in the Properties explorer like they have in the past.

Unfortunately, this is not the best place to ask such a question.

Please note that this discussion forum is dedicated to programming Revit using the Revit API.

Therefore, if you are not programming anything yourself using the Revit API, this is not the right place for this question.

Therefore, you cannot expect an answer to a question such as yours relating to installation, product usage or end user support issues here.

You should try one of the non-API Revit product support discussion forums instead for that:

The people there are much better equipped to answer your question than us programming nerds.

I hope this clarifies.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Best regards,

Jeremy
