Does anyone know how to(or if you evan can) split up the screens in Reviy. I have a two display system and would like to have multiple views open utilizing both monitors.I.E... floor plan view on one monitor and elevations on the other. Has anyone done this? Please advise. RCB

Hey Ricky Unless revit has some wierd restriction on it you should be able to show on two monitors. Just make sure you have windows set to extend your desktop to the other monitor, unmaximize the window (or use the hydravision full maximization if its ATI card) so revit is open on both screen then tile or whateverf you want to get differnt views on each screen. You will probably have to resize each floor plan view and such as you open them to get them on the right position, and wont be able to maximize them without showing it over both screens. Can be a pain, but very fun in the long run.

Two monitors is simple and straight forward with Revit and Windows XP. I have an Nvidia TI4600 in my system. One monitor is plugged into the DVI port the other is plugged into the VGA port. Just reboot your system after you plug in both monitors and then right click on the system background to bring up the display settings dialog box. I recommend using the built in XP tools to run your dual monitors vs. Nvidia’s tools. The XP tools “just work” and will likely give you more pixels. In the XP display settings dialog box you can customize resolution, color, pixel location and extend the Windows desktop across both monitors. Then in Revit just stretch the screen across both monitors and start tiling your views. I find the two monitors very helpful to see a floor plan and the resulting elevation at the same time. It is also great to have the extra real estate to be able to read vendor spec sheets while working on a project.
