Mising Project Browser

[octavio2]

Revit 2021:

My “Project Browser” palette disappeared. 

Normally it is positioned on the left side of the Revit canvas, below the Properties Palette.   The Properties Palette still is there seen on the left side, but the Project Browser is not seen anywhere, even when the rectangle of the View/User Interface is clicked on.  Also, the “Project  Browser” name that appears when right clicking the windows Revit windows canvas is on and clicked, so it is there somewhere, like it is somewhere, but not visible anywhere. 

Can anybody advise how to display it back?

Thanks in advance.

The Screen Resolution/Display settings instruction that are given in the link worked, and now I can see the Project Browser.  Thanks Darren.

P.S.  Just a comment - if either the Project Browser or the Properties Palette gets undocked, that is, if they move away from the side where we have these docked as per our preferences, IT IS VERY HARD SOMETIMES TO DOCK THEM BACK TO THE SAME PLACE WHERE IT WAS BEFORE. 

It is very tedious to dock any of these back to where it was (I prefer the PP above and the Project Browser below both on the left side of the drawing window).  You have to try several times, sometimes more times than what we want, to the point that it becomes annoying until you see the blue background where you want to dock it again.  And even that does not work the first try sometimes and you have to try, and try, and try again......

AutoCAD has resolved this "docking" issue with the "right click" functionality which will allow and direct the docking to the location that we want with the right click.   How come that Revit does not provides such convenience for the dockings?

Missing Project Browser

Hi @mlondi4052mkhize 

Thanks a lot for posting your question to the forums!   Please try the following:

• Disconnect monitors to get down to a single display (for laptops, disconnect all external displays) to see if this brings the palette back on screen.
• Try changing the screen resolution to see if this brings the palette back:
• Right-click Desktop > Display settings > Scale and layout.
• Change the screen resolution down to 100%.
• Locate the properties panel and project browser that was left off-screen.
• Note: After locating and moving the properties panel and project browser, change the screen resolution back to the original settings. If there are multiple monitors, verify that their resolutions match.
   

We look forward to hearing back from you with more information so we can help you as a community!

Click View and go to User Interface. There, check project browser.

I some how could not find it either. I tried all of the above suggestions with nothing working. I am working on a laptop that rotates the screen. I decided to rotate the laptop and the project browser was in an area BELOW the Revit application.

go to View and look for User interface in the right and yes your Project browser is here.
