I think honestly Balkan is just a Revit angel sent to us .
Man, , , , you have no idea how much we are grateful to you, so thanking words are not truly enough, not only for this tutorial, but for all of them.

I have learned Revit and changed from Sketchup to Revit in just 2 months thanks to you. Keep up your good

It's nice to see that Autodesk maintained similar shortcuts to Autocad. That said, I found that double clicking the middle mouse button still acts as a Zoom all in Revit, just as it does in Revit. Nice.

Keep up the good work you are doing with your tutorials. It helped me so much to jump fra AutoCad to Revit :) thx alot.

TRIM/EXTEND SINGLE ELEMENT (TE)
...
TRIM/EXTEND MULTIPLE ELEMENTS (TT)
...
I often use that commands on my Structural, that's the keyboard shortcut I made since it has no default shortcut... aside from using
TRIM/EXTEND TO CORNER (TR)...
Thank you Sir Balkan Architect... I've learned two commands from you... the BX and CTRL + LEFT ARROW...

Let me give you guys an awesome shortcut trick that I adopted form gaming. In the properties, you can assign keys to the tools you use most. So what I did is I set up shortcuts for my favourite tools in the Q-R/Z-C key area, like most controls in games. In games you usually move the character with "WASD", because you do not have to lift your hand and everything is within you reach.


In Revit, hit two keys in a row and it enables your tool. You can use the same keys in different order to get different tools - for instance AB for copy, BA for move, if you want.
Part of my setup looks like this:


AA - Rotate
SS - Move
DD - Copy
FF - Align
QQ - Text
WW - Spot elevation
EE - Dimensions
RR - Tag by, etc.


Then I go Up/Down - Down/Up with the same keys:
QA - Trim to Corner
WS - Trim single
ED - Trim multiple
AQ - Create similar

SW - Hide category
DE - Hide element etc.


Choose your own setup, assign the keys, print your keys and put it in front of you. Once you get used to it, you can get in a such and amazing flow, never looking down on you're keyboard - just like in a game. :) Good luck.
