Tabbed project browser

Tabbed project browser

Give the project browser tabs for: views, legends, schedules, sheets,families,groups,links,assemblies. This would greatly reduce the amount of scrolling/collapsing/uncollapsing

With that dropdown, I actually meant a dropdown in the project browser to switch between browser organization options. That way I could quickly change how the views/sheets are sorted. For example: only show views that are assigned to specific phase, are on a sheet, etc...

 

You can do that already, but it's quite hidden (you have to right click on the header) so a lot of users don't realize it exists. A dropdown would make it much more discoverable (not to mention quicker to switch back and forth between options).

It's a pain to keep scrolling through long lists of items in the Project Browser. My suggestion is to divide and rule, with access to items in the browser dictated by need. 

1) Separate Browser windows for Views, Sheets, Schedules, Legends, Families, Groups, Links. That way we have access to whatever we need when we need. This would be OOTB and not customizable

2) Once in the window, we should be able to set up tabs. For instance, in Views and Sheets we set up categories. So if I want to see my Detail category, I should be able to create and access a tab for that. Or I should be able to view my Door families without having to scroll through a gazillion items.

This would allow us to further customize the Project Browser per our workflow and model standards, while enhancing productivity and reducing frustration.

Since this has been dubbed "Future Consideration" (one year ago), do we need to repost it (like for "Archived" ideas) to get Autodesk to consider it again?

Hi Lionel,

No, there is no need to post the idea again. We will reconsider projects in the "Future Consideration" state as we adjust our roadmap. We will typically not reconsider things that are archived, although I'm sure there will be exceptions.

Thanks,

Sasha

Thanks so much for the quick reply, Sasha!

 

It's good to hear that we don't have to resubmit "Future Consideration" ideas - this also helps keep the forum a little cleaner. :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:

I could see this working similar to the Tool Palettes in AutoCAD Architecture.  Or Revit's little sister, Project Navigator in AutoCAD Architecture.

Brilliant Idea!

Bro, This important thing is not in their future road map. They are
working on something much more important things for our benefits. So,
chill, do not fret. Have 'faith' in Autodesk and get used to the current
UI.
What more important things? I am curious, but once received a survey asking whether we wanted the cancel buttons left or rather in the center... That didn’t help the faith in what’s important for them...

I am also curious to know what is more important thing Autodesk is working
on than this one.

@sakar_deepak did you not just say "Bro, This important thing is not in their future road map. They are working on something much more important things for our benefits. So, chill, do not fret. Have 'faith' in Autodesk and get used to the current UI."

@sakar_deepak I was also curious about what it is that you consider to be "much more important"... but then you're curious, too? Huh?

 

@peter_vanorshoven You can get hints by looking at the accepted ideas here as well as the current roadmap, but (due to the NDA) if you want to know specifically (and even try it out yourself - no install required), sign up for the beta program (beta.autodesk.com) and give your input on the new features (to make sure they're done right the FIRST time)! Emoticono muy feliz

I am sure he forgot to type using a sarcasm font.

I thought the sarcasm was clear and did not require a 'note'.

@sakar_deepak LOL. Never underestimate the potential for miscommunication. Emoticono feliz You sounded so serious, I didn't know what to make of it... That, and I immediately thought of one major UI improvement, so I thought you were referring to that.

Yeah bro, this the draw back of text msgs. One only reads, one cant see the

Improving Revit browser is much needed and was already suggested here and received much support. I would like to be more specific. I suggest adding another level of editing to the browser that allows the creation of tabs for the main titles and any other sub-families as needed. The idea is to avoid the tedious scrolling down and up in the current browser. Do not decide which are the tabs that are necessary to all of us. Let us custom decide about our needs.

 In some projects the Project Browser is very extensive. A good idea to optimize the query of projects views and list of families would be to have an additional tab for each of the items.

There are similar ideas to this on here... the browser is archaic and really needs updating.
