A nagging problem since v5 for me is that pulldown menus [fields in Element Properties] seem to get "tired out" and won't pull down after the program has been open for some period of time. Save, close, reopen and they are back to their normal function. Machine has a meg of memory, plenty of processor speed. This is the only program that does this. Any ideas?

I had a brief problem withthis at home.....the solution for me was to simply move the program window from my "Secondary" Monitor to my primary monitor. don't know if that applies.....but it's what I did.

I just downloaded r7. This problem doesn't seem to occur in r7, thankfully. Unfortunately, the "whats new in r7" pdf is not available from autodesk site, will try again later.

Have a look here:

And you can find the Preview Guide - a .pdf - with all the news in Revit 7.

r7: now the pulldowns stopped functioning completely, even if I shut the program down and re-start. Autocad are you there? hope you fix this!

To fix this Go to 'New' on the toolbar click "Project", in the 'Template file' click 'none', in the 'Create new' click 'Project' thats it. I have only had the problem twice in V5.1, this seems to reset revit back to standard. I even reloaded it and it still didn,t work until I tried the above.
Hope it works for you .

Do'es it fix it again when you try my fix.
The drop downs aren't working but if you type the first letter it will pick it up for example scale or material. I'ts a bit hard to explain.

No, the second time I do your fix it doesn't help. But yes, if you know the names of the pull downs, you can type them in and they will pop in. Like if a door is displayed and you highlight phase demolished and it displays "none", you type "e" and "existing" will be displayed. This doesn't help when it comes to setting the scale of a drawing, numbers don't seem to work.

Running Revit on a second screen was the problem for me, too. Thanks for the clue. Now I'm cramped onto a single monitor screen, but at least I can change wall properties.
