Missing lines/Buttons in TheModus screens (Prefab-, Positienumber)


Last modified on: 9 november 2022

Problem:

With activating the TheModus screens for Prefabnumbers or Positienumbers:

  • Not all lines are visible or selectable.
  • The [ OK ] and [ Cancel ] buttons are not visible (behind lines)


Cause:

The incorrect showning of the screens is most often a result of using a high resolutionmonitor combined with imagescaling.


Solution:

There are several solutions/workarounds available:

 

  • Option 1:
    • Close Revit
    • Disconnect all but 1 monitor.
    • Adjust the image scaling to 100%. (Eventhough  adjusting to a 'not standard' scale like 125% might also work.)
    • Restart Revit and the screens are displayed correctly.
  • Option 2:
    • Close Revit
    • Browse to the installation folder where you can find the Revit.exe, mostly this is: %ProgramFiles%\Autodesk\Revit 202x\.
    • Locate the Revit.exe.
    • Open the 'properties' (right mouse click).
    • Activate the “Compatibility” tab. (See red circle with 1)
    • At the bottom of the tab, activate “Change high DPI settings”. (See red circle with 2)
    • Activate the “Override high DPI scaling behavior” option. (See red circle with 3)
    • Choose “System” in the dropdownlist (See red circle with 4)
    • Click “OK” to change the settings. (See red circle with 5)
    • Start Revit.


If the buttons [ OK ] and [ Cancel ] are not visible the can still be used o rnot all lines are shown:

In the specific 'Prefabnumber screen' and the lines 'hanging' over the buttons there are several options:

  1. In case not all lines are visible and cannot be selected:
    Select the last visible line and scroll through the list with the 'arrow down' button.
  2. In case the [ OK ] button is missing one of two methods can be used to finalize the selection:
    1. Typ or choose the desired prefabnumber, Press the <Tab> button and press <Enter>
    2. Typ or choose the desired prefabnumber, Press <Alt> + <O>
