Cleanup Tips Icon

[KatarinaWDC]

Can we add "Tips" icon next to the issue description, so when we share the link with the users they will get an idea how to fix some issues? For example in Families follow the next steps to reduce the family size....etc.

@KatarinaWDC when you say "issue description", what do you mean? Can you take a screenshot and show me what we are talking about specifically? Thanks!

So when someone clicks on one of the categories on the right, it unfolds. Do you want more text in there?

Right now user knows that his families are big, but he doesnt know how to fix them. Maybe a Tip button next to it, like perform Purge unused or Purge families before loading, etc. Something like that, small tips here and there, you know better than me. Maybe a link to HOK hub webpage with best practice (thinking loud what could be better). What do you think?

@KatarinaWDC in Revit, on Mission Control dockable panel, under Health Report. It shows a similar kind of summary with circles and a score right? For Links there is a piece of text next to the circle that says "Links Manager". The idea is that user clicks on that link, and it will launch a Links Manager tool for them. That helps to cleanup the mess with links, imports and styles. Would that be exactly what you want, but for Families? So basically a family cleaning tool, that will edit the family, and allow you to quickly identify some issues: imported images, imported dwgs, unused nested families etc.

@ksobon I am not sure what you mean. Can you give me a call/quick demonstration once you get 5 free minutes, it would be appreciated. Thank you

@KatarinaWDC so where are we with this idea? Is adding tips on how to address specific issues still desired?

Yes, I think it would be beneficial to the users to provide them some tips how to fix issues or optimize the model. I am not sure about the format - let's propose it as a topic on the next call to get everyone's opinion.
