Revit 2019 - Window Maximizing

Revit 2019 - Window Maximizing

Revit 2019 has lost a feature of conveniently maximizing any one of the tiled windows, while still having all the tools, project browser and properties visible.

 

If you have multiple tiled windows open, and you wish to maximize only one of them, you have to "pull" the chosen window out to get the small "maximize" icon in the top right corner, as well when you do maximize it, the window does not include any of the tools nor the project browser nor the properties, just the window. 

 

I like the view tabs and how they work, but why get rid of another equally valuable feature? Why not have both?

Why ever did they change it? It used to work just like one would expect in the Windows environment, but now Autodesk decided to lose some basic functionality. Let's hope they fixed it in 2020!

No, unfortunately they didn't. I already checked.

Autodesk has made some other "improvements" that are taking as back. Like not showing the Local file in recent documents but the Central file.

Now we have to browse very time we want to open a local file as they rendered the recent files windows redundant. Change for the sake of change?

@Kitty.Ma One more interesting thing that I noticed is that if you WT multiple views, that also include a few schedules, and then decide to TW the schedule view, you can't do it. The workaround would be to TW a non-schedule view, then look through your open TABS and select the schedule view that you want to be maximized by clicking on it.

@sdijanovic To TW the schedule, you have to click in the top right grey/empty part of the ribbon first, then TW

@Anonymous Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get TW to work on schedule views. It works just fine all other views. By "top right grey/empty part of the ribbon" do you mean the area that I circled in the image below?

 

I'm just curious as I'm obviously missing something here and there might a setting somewhere I haven't looked at.

Thanks!

Empty part of the Ribbon

What you circled is NOT the Ribbon. The Ribbon is where you find the panels with icons and command names.

@Anonymous Got it now. Thanks! It's not very intuitive to click completely outside of the schedule onto an empty Ribbon space, essentially deselecting the schedule, in order to maximize the very same thing you are deselecting. Not sure what the reasoning is in making schedule views behave differently from all the other views.

No not intuitive at all, it`s a hidden 'pro move' you can happily teach others.

 

There should be a way to optimize this UI, but I cannot think of one. The reason it does not work when you have the schedule selected is that schedule are made to enter information unlike 3d views. So you could easily type WT in a cell by accident. At least that is what I think is the reason.

Just opened Revit 2020 for the first time and have to agree with all of these posters: The loss of the maximize/minimize functions for individual views is seriously hampering our workflow. Please bring it back!

Why change something that was never broken at all? Especially when there are so many shortcomings in Revit. Couldn't you have spent the resources improving the extremely limited 3d modeling abilities of Revit? Or improve the awkward and limited stair creation? Really?

They broke it because they allowed us to put a window outside Revit.

So is there a set number of complaints that we need to reach to get Audodesk to agree to fix this? 

 

Saying "I hear your concerns" only works for so long. Now, you're just not doing your job.

You must be new around here, hahaha.

TBH, I`m thrilled if Autodesk solves a major problem within a year.

3-6-never is more of a standard timeline. Also, this only has 23 votes, they only take notice at 100+ votes and even then...

New to commenting on this, yes. Normally I just roll with the punches when there's an update I don't like and try to make whatever the work-around is, a muscle memory. But this one is just insane and still messes with me regularly. Hard to get the critical # of comments/votes when there are multiple threads complaining about the same thing.

 

Can I catch their attention by calling them a bunch of idiotic little bitches that need to get off their ****ing asses and fix their ****? 

 

Not entirely true, but maybe it'll get flagged and actually grab someones attention that isn't a complete moron and understands basic customer service.

You can politely point out duplicate threads and @ the right people to get their attention. They will combine, making the votes go up.

 

Don`t be mean, be concise and clear with your complaints. Being mean will make them ignore you, being rude may result in a block (?).

 

The goal is to get everyone voting and remind Autodesk about customer priorities. Even if thy are working on it, it takes at least 6 months to implement and deliver to customers. Basically expect the worse and hope for the best.

 

Unfortunately Autodesk has no real competition, so they don`t really listen to their customers.

I get what you're saying, I do.  .  . but for real, how hard is it to say,

 

"We will be addressing this in a future update / new version of Revit" 

 

or

 

"The overall view on this update has been positive, and we don't don't currently have any plans to further update window maximizing/minimizing features." 

 

Not worried about being blocked by Autodesk if it's common knowledge that they don't care what their customers say anyway.

Why change a useful feature for the sake of change? ? How do you test and approve this disruptive changes? It costs us the users thousands of dollars in time wasted with workarounds.

Upon recently utilising 2019 I was just shocked that minimise windows has been removed. I agree with others, this really slows me down and makes windows harder to view. Please bring it back
