Revit 2026.0.1's 'Attached Detail Group' tool's working command loose ability to be assigned shortcut key

[kent123]

What I found for Revit 2026.0.1 is that there is a missing CommandID shortcut for 'Attached Detail Group', whilst 'Attach Detail Group' is working fine as previous version e.g. Revit 2025 & prior.

For this workflow there are original 2x commandIDs that go with it, as below:

CommandName:                    CommandID:

Attach Detail Group              ID_EDITGROUP_ATTACH_TO_GROUP

Attached Detail Groups       Dialog_ElementGroup_EditGroupNew:Control_ElementGroup_EditGroupAttachDetail

Despite 'Attached Detail Groups' is still working in Revit 2026 BUT shortcut key CAN'T be assigned to it because its commandID is MISSING.

Both tools need to be working hand-in-hand, and if 'Attached Detail Group' can't be assigned a shortcut key the workflow could be handicapped and inefficient for projects that make use of attached detail groups, eg multi-storey apartments etc.

I am suspecting that the developer might have left out the commandID or accidentally deleted it.

May Autodesk look into this and bring back the commandID for 'Attached Detail Group' tool, so that a shortcut key can be assigned to the tool ?

Not sure if it is something wrong with the Revit 2026.0.1 that I used...but anyone else could give it some tests to find out if similar issue persist...

Just for a note to this post enquiry: it has seemed to have been raised a ticket by Autodesk to address this via this response: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/revit-2026-rotate-tool/td-p/13421425#M446300

what if you install the latest SP1?

Thanks for reporting this. Revit team is looking at it.

Hi RuogianLu, thanks for taking the query. However, Revit 2026.2 seemed to have not addressed that.

Remember, tool still exist in Revit up the whole life cycle but then tool suddenly can't be assigned a shortcut key, which is little strange & not helpful with mass who uses such tool.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for Revit 2025, no issue as key can be assigned as below

VERY IMPORTANTLY, this also apply to the other tool 'Link'; with Revit 2026.2 did not address such shortcoming.

On the other hand, whilst "Attached Detail Group" tool lost the ability to be assigned keyboard shortcut (lost commandID), Autodesk in Revit 2026.2 has opted to enable 2x legacy (existing) commands to be assignable with keyboard shortcuts. I find this strange why so Autodesk?

the 2x existing commands mentioned above are the following:

1. Go to View   (commandID: ID_SECTION_GOTO_VIEW)

2. Move Aligned to Sheet   (commandID: ID_MOVE_VIEW_ALIGNED_TO_SHEET)

I find it is not that much quicker for the command 1. & 2. above to be invoked by a key than the context mouse menu followed by letter "G" and "M" respectively, though it does give alternative options for them to be invoked.

My enquiry and request to Autodesk is that the commandID for "Attached Detail Group" need to be given back its previous commandID in order for it to be used via a keyboard shortcut...just like the 2x commands 1. and 2. above.

There are organization that extensively use Attached Detail Group in their, for example, high density multi-storey apartment buildings documentations, which make it an indispensable command especially for significantly large building complex. Therefore, without such keyboard shortcut access the workflow time could be increased substantially...which ultimately will affect the delivery capability of the organization.

With that said, the option for the organization is not to transition to Revit 2026 until such command issue is resolved by Autodesk.

I will raised this again after the first one above, about another existing tool that has similarly lost its ability to be assigned keyboard shortcut, namely context "Link" (Converts the selected group to a linked file)
