25 Questions

1. A horizontal height at which certain elements in the view are shown in cross-section.

2. A series of 2-dimensional lines and arcs that form a closed loop. Use ______ to define cross-sections for railings - balusters - soffits - cornices - and other sweep-defined objects.

3. An arrangement of elements in a building model. For example - in a large office - you can create an ______ of desks and chairs. In a structural design - you can create an ______ of beams or columns. You can create a linear ______ - in which the eleme

4. A file format for fill patterns. A pattern file is a text file that contains definitions for model or drafting patterns in a project.

5. One or more masses in a Revit project. ______ allow you to explore design ideas by using shapes to conceptualize a building model. When your conceptual design is complete - you can add building elements directly to these shapes.

6. A Revit file that contains all information about a building design.

7. A user interface mechanism that you use to select elements within a defined area by dragging the cursor around them. To create a ______ - place the cursor near the elements to select - click and hold the left mouse button - and drag the cursor diagon

8. A list of keynote numbers and the corresponding keynote text. If you choose to annotate model elements using keynote numbers only - you can use a ______ to provide descriptive text for each keynote number. By using a keynote legend - you avoid clutte

9. A collection of settings that you can use as a starting point for projects - families - views - and more.

10. A model element that can exist in a building model only if sponsored by another (host) element. Doors - windows - model lines - and components (such as furniture) are ______.

11. A set of colors and fill patterns used to graphically designate rooms or areas in a floor plan. You can apply ______ based on any parameter value for a room or area. For example - if you want to color rooms by department - set the Department paramete

12. The top of the view in the drawing area. When producing solar studies or rendered images - change the view orientation from ______ to True North to create accurate sunlight and shadow patterns for the project.

13. To limit the boundaries of a view - omitting parts of the building model from the view.

14. For a subcomponent of a family - a property that defines its display (the line weight - line color - and line pattern). For example - you can assign one ______ to the wood trim of a window and another ______ to the glass.

15. Stairs that consist of one solid piece of material - such as concrete. In Revit Architecture - you can specify that stairs are ______ in the stair type properties. You can also specify the material for ______.

16. A line used when designing families of model elements or placing elements in a building model. When you draw a ______ in a view - the line is visible in other - related views. A straight ______ provides 4 planes to sketch on. One plane is parallel to

17. (1) A point in the current view that you can use for positioning or dimensioning a model element. When you move the cursor near a ______ - Revit Architecture displays a temporary dimension between the element being placed and the ______. To display d

18. A representation of a building model that simulates a person walking through the model along a defined path. The following ______ view shows the ______ path in red.

19. Coordinate plotting grids for non-planar surfaces. Plotting locations in a 3D space is based on an XYZ coordinate system - while 2D Space is based on an XY system. Since surfaces are not necessarily planar - the UVW coordinate system is used to plot

20. Text that documents a building model. ______ are usually related to a parameter for a model element or type. You can create ______ families and nest them inside host model families - so that the annotations display in the project. This is useful if y

21. The order in which elements display in a view - as if layered on a flat surface. You can move an element backward or forward in the ______ - or bring it to the front or back of a stack of elements.

22. A mechanism for determining which elements are selected (for modification or manipulation) based on their family types or element parameters.

23. A 3D shape consisting of multiple polygons that are joined (meshed) together. For example - a ______ cube consists of 6 square surfaces that are joined together to form the cube shape. This is sometimes referred to as face-based geometry.

24. Available in the conceptual design environment - ______ mode is a transparent view that displays the underlying geometric skeleton of a form.

25. A wall that consists of multiple vertical layers. Each layer can use a different material (such as concrete - insulation - and interior finish) and have a different function (such as structure - thermal layer - and substrate).
