Send to Back and Send to Front

Anonymous
Not applicable

The "Send to Back" and "Send to Front" tools, which are so elusive and I have to chase their "super secret" places in the Ribbon (sometimes unsuccessfully), and when I want to use any of these I don't see them, and then I see these at some other times when I have not need to use them  - Is there a way that I can put these permanently on the Ribbon somewhere?

Also, I tried to create a keyboard shortcut for these, but what I did (or the way that I did) did not work out.  Is there a setting somewhere that will allow us to use these commands or tool whenever we want to?  (I am thinking about how easy it is to activate and use these commands in AutoCAD, but in Revit these seem to be so elusive).

Thanks in advance.

Similar to other tools in Revit, they will only show when you select something that they can be applied to.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Send to front/back only works for detail elements.  When you select an applicable element, the button will show on the Context Ribbon (Modify).  You can add the button to the Quick Access Toolbar but it doesn't help if you select non-applicable elements.
