Place Dimensions UX/UI Fix

Place Dimensions UX/UI Fix

I originally posted this in the Revit Architecture Forum, but I was directed to put my issue in here so there could be a more permanent software UX/UI fix. Link to original post here

 

Moving the selection elements from the Options Bar for Placing Aligned Dimensions into the Contextual Tab now negatively influences the Tools for screen with large Display Resolutions in Revit 2026. 

 

I've been adding dimensions to my walls, and more specifically intending to dimension the width of my walls. In order to do that, I have to change the options in "Place Dimensions." However, this is only an issue since the UX/UI design on the ribbon doesn't allow me to see or click the other options on the dropdown menu (Screenshots included). I've tried minimizing the large ribbon to tabs and panels, but that hasn't changed anything about my access to the dropdown menu. Any help is appreciated!

 

There was a similar issue also discussed recently on this form (linked below), but their issue was resolved because they were directed to the dropdown menu on the ribbon. I imagine part of the reason is due to the width of my laptop. Even if the issue isn't resolved by the time I need it, perhaps this could be updated in later software editions or something by posting this here.
