                             Tabs are the highest level of organization and are used to select from among the various
                             groups of functionality. There are up to 11 tabs along the top of the ribbon. We’ll take a moment

                             Architecture, Structure, or Systems    If you install Revit Architecture you will only have
                             access to the Architecture and Structure tabs in the ribbon. If you install Revit with one of the
                             Autodesk Building Design suites, you will have access to the tools for all three design disci-
                             plines, and you can control the visibility of these tabs from the Options dialog box (accessed
                             from the Application menu), as shown in Figure 2.5. These tabs contain tools you will use to
                             create or place content specific to each design discipline.
