This is a program for speeding up your daily work and taking some of the tedium out of everyday tasks in Revit
Features of PowerKey4Revit.
This is an external program to Revit, so its an overlay program that manipulates Revit’s Keyboard Shortcuts and windows. It is NOT an add-in to Revit and does not use Revit’s API.
The main focus to date for PowerKey4Revit has been to speed up the simple “drafting” type tasks such as chaining simple commands and adding and manipulating text so that you can stay focused in the main model window rather than moving the mouse up to the ribbon to do parts of basic commands, such as with the Region command, or adding an extra arrow to a text box.
The tool has 3 main areas of focus, as shown by the bubble diagram:
- 1. The main commands operating inside Revit
- 2. Empowering users to create bespoke scripts and commands to suit their workflow style
- 3. Help and information on key use and how to quickly access information
