Give the project browser tabs for: views, legends, schedules, sheets,families,groups,links,assemblies. This would greatly reduce the amount of scrolling/collapsing/uncollapsing
Think about this idea almost weekly when endlessly scrolling trough the project browser, or clossing down and opening tabs...
Note to Autodesk: Please when you guys decide to implement this idea, think of making this into an UI update for older versions as well, in our firm for example they have the habbit of always using a versions older then the latest update.
This has to do with our partners (structural engineers and MEP) who do the same...
Also i would be really usefull to be able to use this on older projects.
By my knowledge the API and UI are mostly seperate so it shouldnt be a big problem to make this into an UI only update ( i can be wrong but i thought it was that way).
If you guys are interested, I can also make a concept version about the project manager, more improved than I did before if you find it above. Then maybe we can force Autodesk to develop the latest project manager.
We have given up waiting for Autodesk to answer to our needs. We are developing a new tabbed browser with RVM software developers. You can contact them via e-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]
We created a versatile browser that can be customized using shared parameters and Revit categories.
@Zwielehner It's a good start, but what I'd like to see is added Families Tab also with some sort of Favourites where we could add families which we use often. Also a dark theme (dark grey background) would be nice as Autodesk's parody on dark theme just makes me laugh.
I know lots of people who would be willing to pay for such an add on.
Of course you can have a families tab. Notice that there is one in the tabs shown here. You can choose the family categories you wish to include in the tab according to your needs. Since we are architects we know what are the real needs of users...
@FinearcLtd - yes I know, I was responding to the previous comment. I've already contatcted Avia on email. Is this product availalbe as an add on in the Autodesk App store?
In that case, I am also hoping for F2 Rename and F3 search hotkeys. I personally place the project browser to the right of my screen and would need the tabs to be flipped to the left for ease of access. Is this plugin going to end up as an open source Revit UI improvement project? Because that would be really nice if the community could finally address all the UI related issues (which Autodesk and its developers clearly won't). This could then, hopefully, also be used in previous Revit versions.
I am afraid this is not up to us. We came up with the ideas and specifications. Any further requirements and improvements will be decided by the software developers. It is still in Beta stage but should be in apps store very soon. It's holiday around here right now and you better contact them next week and bombard them with requirements. It really depends on the amount of clients for this I suppose.
We experienced that users rarely use the family list in the project browser, mainly because it is so cumbersome and families are listed last. Mostly users start with the corresponding category command (wall, component, ...) and choose the type afterwards. Also, as this allows for using shortcuts. In our opinion, families should be treated differently than sheets etc.
Families are not necessarily existing in the "project" as views are. They are simply stored in the Revit file, and some are placed. That are different concepts, and the reason why we separated them.
If you know many users willing to use our project browser please send them in ;). We are happy to improve our tools further.
@Zwielehner I understand and appreciate your efforts, but this would not be of use for us without families. I have 12 memebers in my team and we would all use the tool if the above were implemented.
FWIW, the main time we open the families in the project browser is when using Slab Edges (to edit the profiles) since that's the only (clunky) way to get to them. Otherwise it's just the rare management task.
I really hope this is still under future consideration at least, having the views, legends, schedules, scheets, groups and revit links split out as tabs.
Seems like a small thing but this would enhance the workflow so much by decreasing the time needed to scroll or collapse etc...
Would it be possible to add a families tab to the Browser Organization options window? Specifically for system families. Since system families cannot be deleted from a project or template it would be beneficial to hide ones we do not intend to utilize.
AutoCAD Map 3D and ArcGIS (Desktop & Pro) have something similar; "Task Pane" and "Content Pane", respectively, that looks really good (the one from ArcGIS Pro), and in Revit will save thousands of clicks and scrolling.
