Hi guys,
Maybe it's all well known to you guys but this one hit me 3:00am this morning.
I assume we all know how to use the Tab key to toggle? Let's say you have a Curtain Wall and need to adjust the placing of a Mullion. By default, if you place your cursor over the CW, Revit will highlight the entire wall. If you want to select Mullion, just press Tabkey until it highlights.
Well then: it happens to me a lot that I get a little annoyed because this crappy piece of software STILL can't read my mind so I start to hit the tabkey as fast as I can and push it once too often. Until now I thought I would have to restart tabbing, or at least run through the whole cycle of options again.
As it turns out you can use Shift-Tab to go BACK one or more steps in the cycle. Revit always uses the same cyclingorder (probably derived from some occolt rituals and a weird balance in the Revit Force) and therefor can move back and forth...
Just figured I'd share this with you. Please, do not tell me in one voice you already knew this because to me this is a need little trick that takes away a lot of frustration (and I'll blame you for not sharing this before).
