Some of the Keyboard Shortcuts in 2010 that would be useful are missing or just are not he same as the ones that were in 2009.
You can add/edit to the KeyboardShortcuts.txt file that should be located here on your computer:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010\Program
Most of the commands are already in there (though it may take some scrolling to find them), but they have a blank value. Just put in the initials you want for the shortcut in quotations following the same format as the other entries.
So I changed these two lines
; "" ribbon:"Detail-Detail-Masking Region"
; "" ribbon:"Detail-Detail-Filled Region"
to this to get Filled Regions and Masking Regions to work.
"MR" ribbon:"Detail-Detail-Masking Region"
"FR" ribbon:"Detail-Detail-Filled Region"
After saving your modifications you have to restart Revit. The shortcut initials that you put in will also show in in the roll-over help menu when your mouse is above a command in the ribbon.

Lines of Trees
How many times has a partner (e.g. Tim) wanted you to show a row of trees in a Revit elevation and have the trees line up with mullions 150ft away on the other side of the building? 
If you need to quickly create rows of trees, use a custom curtain wall family. A curtain wall family is more versatile than a line based repeating component because it allows you to:
- leave out certain trees (by setting the cutain panel to blank)
- use different types of trees in the same row
- space out the trees in different ways (regular or irregular intervals)
- use straight lines, curves, and change directions within the same row (with greater control of what happens at the intersections)
The family in the example is called Deciduous Tree Row and is located at K:\2010RAS\Overland\Planting for you to start with.
The RPC Tree - Deciduous family is loaded and locked to the center of the curtain wall panel. It wouldn't stay attached to the end of the panels for some reason.
