Keyboard Shortcuts

Very important Revit Structure keyboard shortcuts that will speed up production:

• EH - Hide Element (select entities first)
  
• ZE - Zoom Extents
• B*spacebar* - Draw Beam
• WA - Draw Structural Wall
• TG - Tag (category)
• VG - Visibility Graphics
  
• MA - Match Properties
  
• SC - Snap to Center
• SM - Snap to Midpoint
• CP - Coping
• VP - View Properties
  

Another very useful one that isn't necessarily a shortcut, just a windows trick:

• G - Go to View (right click on a callout or section cut first so that the pop up menu appears)

And useful shortcuts that aren't necessarily easy enough to be useful:

• PR - Edit Properties (select element first)
• ALT+Enter - Properties (select element first)

*** Edit *** I'm adding "EE" menu:"Edit-Properties" to my shortcuts just before PR to make it a more typable shortcut. *** Edit Edit *** It appears not to work, and it breaks all the other shortcuts. I'll have to investigate more later.

You can create you own keyboard shortcuts by editing the text file:

C:\Program Files\Revit Structure 2009\Program\KeyboardShortcuts.txt
