This blue bar is one the "&lt;a href="http://revitoped.blogspot.com/2005/08/buttons.html"&gt;sneaky buttons&lt;/a&gt;" as I call them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_1zQaJg2rMmE/SCPhBzOgOoI/AAAAAAAAAVw/cBJy75Aq2io/s1600-h/Groups.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_1zQaJg2rMmE/SCPhBzOgOoI/AAAAAAAAAVw/cBJy75Aq2io/s320/Groups.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198245815962843778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clicking at any point along the blue bar will contract or expand the list of parameters. Okay you know that already...so here's the point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'll find that if you use a combination of the scroll bar AND the Groups that at times Revit will be unable to display all of the parameters toward the bottom of the list. This is particularly true of the Family Editor &gt; Family Types dialog where I seem to spend a fair bit of time. In order to see them you'll have to expand all the Groups and then use the Scroll Bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I debated...is the Dept. of Subtle or Quirky?...Quirky won but it's a toss up!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9240097-682067046220953119?l=revitoped.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://revitoped.blogspot.com/feeds/682067046220953119/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9240097&amp;postID=682067046220953119&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9240097/posts/default/682067046220953119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9240097/posts/default/682067046220953119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://revitoped.blogspot.com/2008/05/dept-of-quirky-using-group-bar-vs.html' title='Dept. of Quirky - Using Group Bar vs. Scrolling'/><author><name>Steve</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UmdcF2U9lzE/Tn0qL-IacnI/AAAAAAAACd4/PQZu043SzBQ/s220/SteveS.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_1zQaJg2rMmE/SCPhBzOgOoI/AAAAAAAAAVw/cBJy75Aq2io/s72-c/Groups.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry>
