Places Shortcuts

A quick and easy way to create Shortcuts to you Revit Open Dialog Box is to add Shortcuts to the Places area.

This can be done in a few ways.

• Firstly, if you hold the left mouse button down on the directory you can drag it into the Places area. 

The only problem with this method is that you cannot rename the added directory, which can be confusing if you have 3 copies of the same Directory from different projects….. 

• You can also go to the directory you would like to add and then ‘right click’ in the Places area, and ‘Add Current Folder’. 
• 
  

This will give you the same result as the first solution, no renaming!

• The more preferred method that will give you greater control is to ‘right click’ in the Places area, and ‘Edit Places…’ this will take you to the Edit Places dialogue box. Where you can type and manually name a directory then you will have to manually select the directory path.  

This method is a little more time consuming, but it will give you a better result.
