Dialog Box Does Not Appear When Running Commands

I ran an AeroBIM command that should open a dialog box. The Revit icons grayed out to show the window has lost focus, but I don't see the dialog box.​

Cause​

When an AeroBIM dialog box opens, the software stores the onscreen position of that dialog box so it will open in the same place next time.

If the last known position for a dialog box was on a monitor or video source that is no longer connected, AeroBIM may still use that position, opening the dialog box somewhere that is not visible.

Solution​

To reposition the dialog box somewhere visible, follow these steps:

  1. Run the command, then press ALT + SPACE.
  2. Press M.
  3. Press one of the arrow keys. The dialog box will attach to your cursor.
  4. Move the cursor to your preferred position for the dialog box.
