Manage Tab: Centrally Located Tool Setting Buttons for Less Click Bait

Manage Tab: Centrally Located Tool Setting Buttons for Less Click Bait

I understand some tools can be found in more than one place (which is still fine), but it just grinds my gears when needing to generate/update settings to a Template file or to update a Project file & having to go all over the Ribbon Map to find/get to them. Yes, "Transfer Project Standards" is an option, but then there's more cases of when customization isn't needed & or for verifying settings. So instead of having to navigate all over the Ribbon it'd be nice to have an Options Tab (or revamp the Manage Tab to be more "efficient & effective") to go find all settings in one place so one can either select the varying sub-options within:

 

Text, Dim, Tag, Import, Select, Keynote, Room&Area, Structure, Connection, Reinforcement, Model Site, Sync, Manage Models, Graphics, HVAC, Fabrication, Mechanical, Plumbing&Piping, Electrical, then all the Analytical settings, & maybe 3rd Party Vender settings...& maybe move the Options button on the bottom right of the App Menu (Big R) into this location too (as another access point) & maybe rename it to "Revit Options"....just sayin'.

 

So then maybe they're grouped into Panels like Project, Additional Settings, Annotations, Model, Systems, Analysis, Project Location, Links, Phasing, Selection, Inquiry, API. Of course, some of these Panels can become very busy, so having each on a Fly-out Menu, & or double fly-out menus would be likely...unless the Manage Tab is somehow split into 2 Tabs into 2 Main Categories like Project, Model, Systems, Location, & Links Panels which can be on the "new" "Project Tab". Then Annotation, Additional Settings, Analysis, API, Selection, Inquiry Panels & possibly a 3rd Party tool settings Panel stay on the "Manage Tab".

 

Attached is a sample mock-up of the proposed Tabs.
