Schedule New Row

Despite the recent improvements to schedules I find myself wishing for a subtle improvement to the Insert > Data Row feature. Paul Aubin commented on this at the Central States Revit Workshop during his Friday session for Interiors. I'm not alone, and the people in his class were on our side too.


The majority of the time we are likely to use it to insert a new Data Row. Since the Insert Above and Insert Below only is relevant or available when working on cells in the header they are far less likely to be used. I think Data Row ought to be a separate button. The other two options could appear to the side and as two buttons, one above the other, if we click on a cell in the header.

The current process adds clicks to what used to be a single click experience. Just say no to more clicks, it's a clicktastropy!

Split Button Memory

The web update recently indicated that several of the Split Buttons now remember the last tool that you used. Which tools am I referring too?

These:

Room/Area Tag
Column
Keynote Tag
Component/Repeat Detail/Legend Component.

For example the Room/Area tag looks like this when you use it.

Initially the Component Split Button didn't seem to remember to change the icon too but it has been fine since closing and starting over with a new session.
Thanks for the "memories"!
