The Most useful Revit shortcuts I use everyday!

Revit user interface is easy and friendly, but if you want to be faster and cooler, you'll need to learn the shortcuts!

​Keyboard shortcuts can be found easily by hovering your mouse over any of the tools. If the marked tool has a default shortcut, it will show like the image to the side.

Alternatively, you can press K + Space ​to open the Keyboard Shortcuts menu and search for whatever tool you need
