Please add the ability to customize our mouse keys in Revit for example I have 5 extra keys on my mouse but I can't use them in Revit but they help me a lot in other software like Premier
It would be great to be able to scroll the views up and down or left and right with the mouse wheel. Maybe with a modification key such as control or alt key.
This behaviour can be seen in other software such as Photoshop or Excel.
The reason for wanting this is that so much panning ends up putting a lot of stress on my wrist. Being able to scroll without moving the hand at all is very nice.
If you have a mouse that has a "middle button" option in its configuration, that will act as the pan feature. I just have that bound to my mouse wheel when its depressed. I can use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out and then hold it down to pan around.
I agree with you, but in the mean time you can use a software to customize mouse buttoms (I use X-Mouse Buttom Control (freeware) for Windows to have Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Tab, Esc configured in a layout for Revit, and other buttom to change mouse layout profile (I use different buttom for different software). Some Mouse (gaming ones) came with their custom software.
Please enable a way to change the default pan key, as well as other mouse keys, its very annoying to have to mash down the scroll wheel just to pan around. You have the ability to change almost every other command in Revit except for this. Additionally, it would be nice to be able to have user navigation presets so that users who transition from other software ie. Photoshop, Rhino, Sketchup, etc don't have to re-train their muscle memory to switch pan buttons and other navigation keys. Also the option to assign different mouse keys to commands would be a plus in the shortcut tab.
I understand that there are products that may solve this, however considering how expensive a Revit license is, you would think this would be a built in feature. Also I don't have the time at this moment to invest in such a project, but if I were to where would I start?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!! make the mouse buttons customizable like they are in AutoCad Architecture. Speaking as someone who has been using Architecture for over 20 years and have always had my mouse buttons set one way I cannot re-train my muscle memory to function in Revit. I have been given a deadline of end of summer to be proficient in Revit and am self training with videos and tutorials. It all seems overwhelming at the moment but learnable. But I CANNOT work efficiently when every mouse click causes something different to happen than what I am expecting. Most times I don't even know if I've done something wrong or if it was a mouse click. I can't even imagine with the capabilities of mouses these days that you would limit their use so severely in a software that is supposed to be the top of the line. Nor is my company going to pay more $ for additional software or a high end mouse to make this easier.
It would be really helpful if I could scroll up and down, as well as left and right, in Revit's 2D views—similar to how scrolling works in a typical PDF viewer. Being able to navigate using the scroll wheel would make moving around drawings much faster and more intuitive compared to the current method of clicking and dragging or constantly zooming in and out.
Mouse button customization options are limited to assigning a small set of predefined commands to the double-clicking of the Left Mouse Button. It should be a fully-featured customization and assignment panel instead, encompassing all mouse buttons.
Use Case:
I have learned that by clicking the Middle Mouse Button on a view tab Revit will close that view including quietly closing the entire project if the save state is current. I am in the process of merging multiple projects, so in this use case I had to go out to the BIM360 explorer and test re-open projects, wait to reload the links, and the get back into that project. I am a heavy user of Middle Mouse Button double-clicks inside the view in order to Fit-To-Screen. I will never need to close a tab with the Middle Mouse Button. In fact, I do not want any shortcuts for closing tabs.
Please provide customization tools for every command and every user interface feature going forward. This should be the default development ethos for every piece of software by now.
I too have closed many tabs by mistake because that dammed wheel button function... I would gladly deactive that option because it's not intuitive at all (though I would not go that far as not wanting a shortcut, that could actually be useful some times).
I would also immediately reassign the sacred F1 key because I do not consider it helpful to freeze Revit until I get pushed out to the Autodesk Learning homepage every time my left pinky misses the Esc key.
This is apparently a pretty standard feature across Windows. I'm surprised I never would have accidentally done this and realized it was a thing before now.
I also never knew about this middle mouse button closing tabs thing.
Luckily my mouse has the middle click button separate from the scroll wheel so I cannot accidentally click the button when scrolling which is a little bit helpful for avoiding this issue.
