Help needed - Place Dimensions Revit 2026 Dropdown Menu issue

[heikeelliott]

I've been adding dimensions to my walls, and more specifically intending to dimension the width of my walls. In order to do that, I have to change the options in "Place Dimensions." However, this is only an issue since the UX/UI design on the ribbon doesn't allow me to see or click the other options on the dropdown menu (Screenshots included). I've tried minimizing the large ribbon to tabs and panels, but that hasn't changed anything about my access to the dropdown menu. Any help is appreciated!

There was a similar issue also discussed recently on this form (linked below), but their issue was resolved because they were directed to the dropdown menu on the ribbon. I imagine part of the reason is due to the width of my laptop. Even if the issue isn't resolved by the time I need it, perhaps this could be updated in later software editions or something by posting this here.

This is correct, when moving the selection elements from the Options Bar for Dimensions into the Contextual Tab now negatively influences the Tools for screen with large Display Resolutions.

I can only see that reducing the display resolution of your screen to allow more tools to fit onto the Ribbon being the solution to resolve the Tool drop-downs.

May be worth adding to the Revit Ideas Forum

How would I add it to the Ideas Forum? Would it be better to copy and paste what I have here or just link to this post on this forum?
