Tool tips

Tool tips are automatically displayed when the cursor hovers over an icon.

Initially displays the name and a brief
explanatory text.

If "ToolTips" in the Options is set to "High", the
video starts up right away. See below.

After a short while displays additional
information and in some cases further graphic
illustration of how the feature works. In
addition, more of the features in Revit, a little
video that illustrates how the tool works, will be
shown.

It provides help right away, where help is
needed, and it saves time to search for a
description.

Settings for the Tool tips can be changed in the Options from which the amount of information
can be set.
