Revit BIM Efficiency Optimization & Best Practices
Revit You don’t need to press Enter to enter shortcut keys
Different from AutoCAD rules, Revit Most of the commands in are two-letter combinations (e.g. WA, CO) . The command will be executed immediately after typing two letters. Do not type. Enter key, otherwise there will be a meaningless line break operation.
Tile viewport WT and tile collapse
When working on large-scale projects, multi-viewport joint running is prone to lags. After checking with WT tiling, Use `Ctrl + Tab` to quickly cycle, Use `Tab` to browse in single window maximized mode.
