Revit can indeed take advantage of two screens :)


Most of us strongly believe that in Revit one cannot use two screens and Revit's user interface does not support two monitors. Well theoretically this is true. However, sometimes our workload forces some creativity. I just learned today that if you have two equally sized screens then you most probably can afford to extend your Revit windows in some way to your two screens. 

The secret is - you need to Restore Down the Main Revit Application Window and after positioning it in you main screen (or whichever screen you use most of the time) click on the right edge of the window and stretch it as far as the end of your second window.


That's it! Now open as many views as you want and tile them in the extended area of both screens. Yes, you are right, just as you click maximize on main application window it will shrink all windows to one of the screens. See the video below:





So, if you want to use the advantage of two screens in Revit the answer is very simple Restore Down your Main Revit Window and Stretch it to fit your two screens - Enjoy!
