Problem:

Revit’s default Project Browser has several limitations:
Lack of clear categorization for items such as views, sheets, families, and materials, making navigation cumbersome.
Missing preview capabilities, forcing users to rely on trial-and-error to identify items.
The vertical expansion of lists for selection presents a cluttered and inefficient interface for quickly locating specific objects.

Solution:

A custom multi-tabbed and context-aware browser is designed to improve clarity, organization, and usability with categorized sections, horizontal tab grouping and enhanced interaction,
This revamped structure provides an intuitive and efficient interface, significantly improving the speed and accuracy of object selection and project navigation.
