RevitLookup Ideas

Check out
the RevitLookup discussions page
aka RevitLookup Ideas
to discuss your RevitLookup wishes and dreams with the developer community.

Here is one of the open discussions including a poll asking for your preference:

Where would you like to Snoop?

Discussion about
the Snoop Selection button placement #151:

What do you think of the new location of the “Snoop Selection” button?
How do you feel about it and what is your opinion on it, should it be kept or made optional?
The idea is that Revit automatically opens “Modify” tab, making the Snoop button available at all times.
