Building better tools for architects

But i’ve been thinking a lot about how current software tools for architects often fall short in usability. For instance, while programs like Revit are powerful, they can be quite daunting for new users. What features do you wish were more intuitive or easily accessible in architectural software?

I’ve found using custom toolbars in Revit can really speed up workflow for new users; it takes some upfront setup, but it cuts down on the clutter and helps focus on what you really need. Have you tried customizing any tools yourself?

It’s true, navigating programs like Revit can feel like trying to find your way out of a maze without a map; i think simplifying the interface and making certain features more discoverable would help a lot. Have you ever tried using plugins to enhance certain workflows?

I’ve noticed that integrating keyboard shortcuts can make a huge difference for efficiency in tools like Revit. Once you get the hang of them, it really speeds up tasks that would otherwise take ages to navigate through menus. Have you found any shortcuts that work well for you?
