    The Ultimate Guide to
    Revit Shortcuts
    Create Your Own Revit Shortcuts
    You can easily program your own Revit keyboard This will open the Keyboard Shortcuts
    shortcuts. To do so, go to: dialog box.
    View > User Interface > Keyboard Shortcuts
    or type KS

    All of the default keyboard shortcuts are listed. Any shortcut listed in gray is a system shortcut and
    cannot be changed. To add a shortcut, find the command in the Command column or enter
    the command name in the Search field. Once youve selected the command, enter the shortcut
    combination in the Press new keys text box then click the Assign button.

    You have a lot of flexibility assigning shortcuts. A single command can have multiple shortcuts. Likewise,
    a single shortcut can be used on multiple commands. In this case, you use the arrow keys to cycle
    through the commands as displayed in the status bar. Once you have the command you want, press
    the space bar to execute the command.

    Some custom shortcuts you might want to consider are:

    33 Default 3D View MM Macro Manager

    AA Activate view SAV Select all instances in view


    DD Deactivate view SAS Select all instances in project
    JJ Join geometry WS Worksets
    ML Manage Links WW Create walls

    Naming Your Shortcuts


    Speed is king when it comes to naming your shortcuts. Consider defining your shortcuts using the same letter
    or letters closely located on the keyboard. JJ for Join Geometry or AA for Activate View are two good examples.

    You can even create three or four letter shortcuts if you need similarly named shortcuts. You could define WW
    for Create Wall and WWW for Worksets.

    This method minimizes the amount of hunting and pecking required to find your shortcuts. It lets you keep one
    hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse.
