As you’ll notice, the Revit interface isn’t overburdened by a lot of toolbars. It may seem as if there are too few buttons to build an entire building. Don’t worry, all the tools are there—they’re just not visible all the time. The UI is divided into five major components, shown in Figure 2.20: the View window , where all the views and drawing take place; the Design bar , where you access all the cre- ation tools; the Project Browser , where all the views and families are stored and which is used to navigate the projects; the Options bar , where you choose types, access properties, and edit context-sensitive options; and the toolbars, where you invoke various editing tools. Next, we’ll take a quick look at each of these components.
In addition to these major UI components, the Status bar is located along the bottom of the appli- cation frame. It contains information about active commands, what is selected, progress meters, and the Communications Center.
