Right click option to "Show View in Browser"

Right click option to "Show View in Browser"

While working in a View or when a view is selected on a sheet, have a right click menu item to "Show in Browser" - this would expand the project browser and highlight the selected view. Very useful when your project has 1000's of views and hundreds of sheets and quicker that copying the name and doing a search in the project browser.

@PeterH, @Kevin.Bell , 

 

Hi all, I saw a couple of people were posting about how they would like to jump to a view quicker than having to constantly scroll to a project browser. 

 

I created a plugin that does that and it remembers your 20 most recent views. You can keep it open on the side while you're working away.

Hope this helps.

I think this might help you in terms of placing views on sheets really fast without having to scroll through the project browser. Huge time saver.

So happy to see this implemented!!! And it also works on families etc.

There is an issue with the forums. The Implemented status vanished from several boards. We are working with support to get them restored.

Add a "Go to View/Legend/Schedule in Project Browser" function to the right-click context menu of Views, Legends, & Schedules whilst in a sheet view. Would be useful to have this as it would allow users to quickly find the associated view in the project browser from a sheet, and expand all the relevant filters as defined in Browser Organisation.

I would definitely like  this to be implemented 🙂

While you can right mouse click objects and find them in browser, you cannot do that with the white background of any view currently open. Would have helped me to have that a minute finding my way around a huge 3rd party made model. The idea is to include whatever is currently showing inside the properties window for the context menu. If that something is not included in the project browser, well that is another idea.

@MiWolff, you're saying to find a view in the project browser to use the rt click and "Find in Project Browser" option?  That's available today.  If you're in a  sheet, just select on the view, then rt click and go.  If you're in a view, rt click on an empty space and go.  I use it frequently. 

 

Are you talking about something else?  

@MiWolff , Ric is correct per this Idea. Can you explain more of what you are looking for?

@Ric_Weber @kimberly_fuhrman-jones I meant what I wrote and it seems it is implemented. Was probably stuck on a Revit 2019 project when posting. Given that even the wording of the now implemented idea is similar to mine, I wonder why this was not automatically suggested to me when I wrote mine. Sorry to bother you all.

I just found that I had even voted for that idea back in 2019. Interesting to see how many users have turned anonymous in the meantime.

No bother at all, @MiWolff !
