When you have a low-resolution screen or need some tools that are always available, then tearing out the ribbon panels can help.

Low resolution screen your ribbon could look like this where some functions just show a icon

How your ribbon should look like where everything is expanded

This is helpful if you are using different functions in different categories and want to have them readily available on your screen. Its especially helpful when you have multiple monitors to place theses frequently used ribbons.

  • In order to drag these ribbons out just click on the subcategory and drag the ribbon off the screen.

  • Once these ribbon are dragged off to the side they will stay off there.

  • Revit will remember this on your next session.
