After reading this I went to Revit's help to re-read the offset tool and this is what I found:<br /><i>"If you want to create and offset copies of the selected element, select Copy on the Options Bar. (If you selected Graphical in the previous step, pressing Ctrl as you move the cursor has the same effect.)"</i><br />As you can see help mentions the Ctrl key option IF YOU SELECTED GRAPHICAL OFFSET. However you're absolutely right in this post, it also works if you define a NUMERICAL offset.<br />Well thanks a lot for sharing these hidden-keyboard shortcuts. I love to use them, it's always speedier than dragging the mouse around.Eduardo M.I.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11295034815307549311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-69158175215930210312015-08-28T03:53:53.721-07:002015-08-28T03:53:53.721-07:00My favourite overlooked options bar tool is 'D...My favourite overlooked options bar tool is 'Detach All'. When you want to detach a wall from an object above or below, Revit doesn't highlight which element it is actually attached too. It may not even be directly above or below it! By selecting the wall and clicking detach top/base from the contextual ribbon, 'Detach All' in the options bar becomes available and is great for gaining control of your wall constraints again!
