Close views from the Switch Windows list

Close views from the Switch Windows list

Please include a Close File 'X' in the Switch Windows pull down. This will help close one or two windows easier than it is now. It could be a little X next to the window name. We have a macro level 'close all hidden' and we can close the current window, but sometimes we need to close multiple, but not all windows.

This should be a really easy feature to add.

Thank you for your consideration.

Currently you must open a view to close it. It would save time to have the ability to close a view from the view drop list without having to open the view first then close it. You would select the Switch Windows drop list and have the option to open a view or close one or more views.

Wouldn't the "Close Hidden Windows" button be faster/easier?

@mpwuzhere Not necessarily.  Close hidden windows is useful when you want to close a bunch of windows and only keep one open, but it becomes the lesser of two evils when you have 5 views you want to keep open and 5 you want to close - will it take you longer to open the views you want to close and close them, or close everything and then reopen the views you need?

 

I'd love a way to "pin" views in the open windows dialog so that I could close unneeded views but keep a couple needed reference views open continuously (such as two floor plans, or a floor plan and a schedule).

You can also type WT which will tile all the windows on your screen....then you can close which ones you want.

 

If a window is minimized, it won't tile, but you cannot have your windows maximized for that to work.

I do not like to tile my windows because sometimes I have views that are opened in a particular way. I think the (x) idea is great!

Close windows from the Switch windows tab. I think this is a great idea. Window tile is a solution to this if you don't mind reconfiguring your windows back which I find inefficient. Especially if I am working on a family which I usually have 4 windows configured in a specific way.

 

If you think this is a good I idea go here https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/close-views-from-the-switch-windows-list/idc-p/7612496#M1... and vote it up.
