Troubleshooting: Ribbon Tabs and Tools

You cannot locate a tab in the ribbon or a tool in the user interface, as indicated in the Help.

Issue: The missing ribbon tab or tool may not be enabled in your implementation of Revit. Some tools and features described in the Help are not available to you.

Solution: For some Revit installations, the BIM manager or CAD manager disables certain sets of tools before deploying the software to your computer, based on discipline. Discuss your needs with the BIM manager or CAD manager.

In other cases, you can enable or disable sets of tools for your implementation of Revit, as follows:

  1. Options.
  2. In the Options dialog, click the User Interface tab.
  3. Under Tools and Analyses, select the check boxes to enable the ribbon tabs and tools that you want to use.
