Issue:I'm using Revit 2010 and as I work through the morning in a project, I move from view to view (floor plans, reflect ceiling, elevations, etc.) And as I am working, I forget to exit out of views I open once I am done in them... before I know it, I have 30 views open, and my computer bulks since it's running all these open windows...

Question: Can I limit the number of open/active windows allowed in a session? If so how?, this would be great iof I could so that my forgetfull self can continue working efficiently...

Sorry there is no setting that I know of which does what you are asking. You can use the Close Hidden Windows command from time to time, which does just what it says, if you can't see it then it gets closed.

Just occasionally hit the Close Hidden Window button. That shuts everything but one window in each file.

EDIT: Whoops, beat me to it. :)

Great minds Aaron :beer:
Something I just noticed cuz I was playing around, Close Hidden isn't an option if you are using Tile of Cascade view organization.

Thanks guys! I had completly forgotten about that.. I am already a habitual saver sn synchronizer... so getting into the habbit of closing all open shouldn't be a problem... cheers!

Well I understand that but I was thinking of something like having 3 or 4 windows tiled and others hidden underneath those, not necessarily having 10+ windows tiled across two monitors .

Just do a quick double click on the title bar of one window to maximize and then close hidden.
