View tabs
The service is included in the working libraries for Revit and is available when you install ModPlus without installing plugins.
Main settings include the following options:
- Context menu of the active tab – allows you to invoke the context menu of the active Revit tab when you right-click.
The context menu is added to the active tab 0.5 seconds after it is opened or switched to.
The context menu contains the following commands:
Visibility/Graphics – opens the Visibility/Graphics dialog for the view
Open sheet – opens the sheet on which the view is placed. If the view is placed on several sheets, a window with a list of these sheets will open after selecting the command. In the window you can select one or more (with Shift or Ctrl key pressed) sheets that you want to open:
Open document folder – opens the folder where the current document is saved. The command is unavailable if the document is created and not saved
Copy document path to clipboard – copies the path to the document location on the disk to the clipboard.
Copy path to central model to clipboard – copies the path to the location of the central model to the clipboard. The command is active if the file is running in Collaboration
