Right-Click to Open View from Sheet

Right-Click to Open View from Sheet

While in a sheet I would like to be able to select a view, right-click, and pick "Open View".  Simple, but seems like it would be a nice timesaver.

When on a sheet the option to right click to Open a a view (goto view). By Performing this action would open the view in the same way as selecting a section line and right clicking goto view would work.

Hi, @wr.marshall ,

Here is an almost-identical Idea. Shall I merge yours?

When a view is set on a sheet, I would like to be able to right click on the view and select an option to open the view in a separate window. In addition to (or in lieu of) expanding the Project Browser and finding the applicable view to open in a separate window.

When you right click the view in the sheet, hit 'Activate View' and you can work on it right there

Thank you for your response. 
I would like the right-click option to be considered for printing purposes of individual details rather than working on them within the file. It would be easier to print individual details (to PDF or physical paper) for various coordination purposes if you could right-click on the sheet. Especially for project managers more familiar with the drawing rather than the Revit browser.

You are okay to print a view without its title?  Maybe if they allow Print Window then it would answer your need.

Revit 2022.1 does at least introduce the ability to use a right click to 'Find in Project Browser' which saves a heap of time compared to manually expanding and scrolling the project browser so you almost have your wish - still need to double click the now highlighted item in the project browser to open it though.

 

You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to the command which can be faster than finding it on the right click menu and the command works to find sheets, views or elements in the project browser depending on what view you are in and what you click on.
