You can get a couple of extra RPCs if you copy them from your Navisworks install to your Revit RPC folder.
After copying, restart Revit.
RPC Location for Navisworks Manage 2014:

RPC Location for Revit 2014:
C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesAutodesk SharedMaterials2014assetlibrary_base.fbmRPCs
Your mileage may vary in relation to ArchVision watermarks… You can always just make your own RPC from photos or images.
Quick fix for Revit 2012:
- Close Revit
- Go here, download and extract ZIP
- Go to Revit 2012 Program folder and rename AdWindows.dll to AdWindows.dll_OLD
- Copy AdWindows.dll from the extracted folder to the Revit 2012 Program folder
- Open Revit Architecture 2012 – your ribbon problems should be fixed
For Revit 2013 links, see below:
Ribbon behavior problems occur in Revit 2012 and 2013 after the installation of Microsoft .NET 4.5, which is one of the pre-requisite for Revit 2014. This is why this problem is typically encountered after Revit 2014 is installed side-by-side with a previous version of Revit. For those using Revit 2012, the Autodesk Revit 2012 – Ribbon behavior due to .Net 4.5 installation hotfix will resolve this problem. And for Revit 2013 users, the fix is included in the latest update releases, which are available from the following links: Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, Revit Structure, andRevit.

Have you ever used the 2014 feature Temporary View Properties? If you have, you might have noticed that it automatically creates a list of the (temporary) View Templates that have been used recently.
What Revit Wants is for us to stop clogging up our models with 100s of working views, and instead just use 2 or 3 “Working View Templates” along with the Temporary View Properties feature.
This way, you don’t have to keep switching between Working and Printing views all the time…
Also, apply some keyboard shortcuts to these (the “Restore” one will be particularly useful):

Although you can’t right-click on these folders, you can use the Tools – Add Current Folder to Places option.
For Revit 2014, it looks like this in the Registry, at path

You could hypothetically populate these using a script or Registry merge (if you are careful).
Note: you do not need to restart Revit for these changes to appear.
