Before you freak out...

Don't get all worked up over the ribbons in Revit when you see it. First, you can't turn them off, so you might as well deal with them. Second, I think if you'll give them a chance you'll see that a lot of thought was put into them. They "flow" very well. My first reaction to the ribbon when I saw it was predictable: "Oh, great. How do you turn them off?" And then after about an hour of working with them, I decided that I liked them better than the current Design Bar, Pull-down menu, toolbar combination.

Try it, you'll like it.

Ve haff vays of makink you cooperate. Und if you do not cooperate, punishment vill be svift und severe!
