Switch to Classic mode

[Mac Demer]

I've hear there's a way to switch to "classic mode" in Revit 2011. (something with the revit.ini file) It's not supported by Autodesk. Anyone know the steps to do this. I intend to stick with the ribbon but would like to know anyway.

just search for "classic mode" or "2009 interface" or something similar in this forum.

Tried that already with no results. Autodesk states you can't switch to Classic Mode with 2011. BUT there is a way, and it has to do with the revit.ini file. I'm searching for that method.

Thanks,

Although this was specifically something with 2010, so far i haven't heard of or tried hacking 2011 so i don't know if its going to be the same.

Here is a link to the Autodesk Knowledgebase article on how to switch the user interface to a pre 2010 version.
