1.
A sketched line that does not connect to itself. Instead, it leaves an open space between the start point and endpoint of the line. In Revit Architecture, you use ______ to sketch a roof by extrusion and to split toposurfaces and faces. In the following sketch, a closed loop defines the walls, ceiling, and floor. An ______ defines the roof.

2. To change the size of a model element. For example, in Revit Architecture you can ______ a wall or a foundation to adjust to changing specifications.

3. For a 3-dimensional shape, an intersection of 3 sides. When you blend 2D shapes to create a 3D shape, you can use ______ connections to control the rate at which one shape is blended to another shape.

4. Settings that control the appearance or behavior of a project view. To see or change ______, right-click a blank area of the view in the drawing area, and click ______. Or right-click a view name in the Project Browser, and click Properties.

5.
A collection of predefined resources that you can use in a Revit project. For example, you can access ______ of templates, detail components, entourage, materials, and families of model elements and annotation elements. Revit Architecture provides some ______. Other ______ are available on the Internet.

6. A setting that determines the appearance or behavior of an element, type, or view. Also called a parameter.

7. A menu of context-sensitive options. A ______ displays when you right-click an element or view.

8.
To reverse the position of a selected model element, using a line as the ______ axis. For example, if you ______ a wall on a reference plane, the wall flips opposite the original wall. You can pick the ______ axis or draw a temporary axis. Use the ______ tool to flip a selected element, or to make a copy of an element and reverse its position in one step. The following image shows the results of ______ and copying a door, using the center wall as the ______ axis.

9.
Available in the conceptual design environment, ______ mode is a transparent view that displays the underlying geometric skeleton of a form.

10. An Autodesk feature that allows you to drag and drop content from a web page into a Revit session. Using ______, designers and developers have the power to create web pages that can easily be dragged and dropped into Autodesk design products that are ______ enabled. You can import CAD files into Revit Architecture using ______.

11.
A tabular display of information. In Revit Architecture, a ______ is extracted from the properties of elements in a project. It is displayed in a ______ view. Using Revit Architecture, you can create many types of ______, including quantities, material takeoffs, annotation ______, revision ______, view lists, and drawing lists.

12.
A vertical plane in a wall that is used for dimensioning. You create a wall by sketching the ______ of the wall in a plan view or a 3D view. You specify what to use for the ______ in the element properties of the wall - the wall centerline, core centerline, interior or exterior wall face, or interior or exterior face of wall core. In the following illustration, the green dashed lines indicate the ______ of the wall.

13. A user interface mechanism that controls the visibility of datum planes (levels, reference lines, and grids) in views. When you add grids, levels, and reference lines to a project, they may display in more views than desired. For example, when you add grid lines to a plan view, the grid lines display in all plan views of the model. To limit the appearance of datum planes to certain views, use a ______.

14. A wall that supports no additional vertical load except its own weight. ______ can be used to define and divide spaces in Revit Architecture.

15. The North/South and East/West coordinates of an individual point with respect to the shared coordinate system for a group of linked Revit projects.

16. A line that connects an annotation to an element or part of the building model in a view. In Revit Architecture, you can control the line weight, style, and color of the ______, as well as its position, shape, and arrowhead.

17.
A drawing that shows the ceiling in a building design. Also called an RCP view. When you add a level to a building model, Revit Architecture automatically creates an ______ for it.

18.
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 diagonally across the screen to draw a rectangle around the desired elements. Dragging from right to left includes elements completely enclosed by the ______. Dragging from left to right includes any element that the ______ encloses or touches.

19.
A method of displaying model elements in views. For example, you can choose to display a model using wireframe, hidden lines, shading, or shading with edges. You can specify the ______ for a view using the View Control Bar at the bottom of the Revit window.

20. Open Database Connectivity. ______ is a general export tool that works in conjunction with many software drivers. You can export information about model elements in a Revit project to an ______ database.

21.
A fixed starting point, or the point in a coordinate system where the axes intersect. In Revit Architecture, you use an ______ for many functions, such as positioning a linked project, creating a custom fill pattern, positioning a group, resizing walls, or sketching lines for a new family. The ______ of each element is defined in the family file for the element. When you place an element in a project, Revit Architecture uses the ______ defined for the selected family type when snapping to snap points and lines.

22. The orientation of a structural floor. When you place a structural floor in the plan view, Revit Architecture creates a ______ component. Rotate the ______ component to change the orientation of the structural floor.

23. In Revit Architecture, the adjacent materials of a compound structure, such as a wall. You can define the ______ in a compound structure.

24.
In an animation, a single image (for example, in a walkthrough animation or a solar study). In a building, a rigid structure built into a wall to hold a door, window, or other component. In Revit Architecture, you can specify the material and finish for a door ______.

25. A copy of the project file that resides on the computer system of the team member who is working on the file. When worksharing is used to distribute project work among team members, each member uses a ______ to work on his or her workset (functional area). Team members periodically save their changes to the central file so that others can see the changes and update their ______ with the latest project information.
