Tabbed views - Tabs - Tab bar for open Views

[Simon_Weel]

Navigating open views in Revit is a bit cumbersome. You can tile your views, use the Project Browser or use the 'Switch Windows' button, but nah... I mostly use CTRL-Tab to find the open view I need. So what I would like is a tab bar, showing a tab for each open view. Just like the newer version of AutoCAD can display a tab for each open drawing.

As an alternative, when clicking 'Switch Windows' there's an option 'More Open Views'. Unfortunately, that window closes if you click a view. Make that window sticky. I.e. let me dock it somewhere on my second display.

@Anonymous I thought I'd already made that Idea (I know I posted it to the developers), so I made one now. In addition, there are some other ideas to complete their unfinished implementation of tabs and out-of-frame windows:

• Allow tabs in out-of-frame (floating) windows
• Categorize Tabbed Views
• Separate Views from Different Files
• closing a tab/window should stay in same project
• closing tabs should progress in a logical order

May I through in this little plugin? It shows all the open tabs with thumbnails, grouped by file. Would that work for you?

Looks like this issue was solved in the parallax plug in.  Having the ability to group and make different projects colored will be a huge help in organizing when we have multiple projects open at the same time.  we are often pulling information from one project and bringing it into another.
