22. An exterior wall consisting of panels connected by joints or mullions. The panels can be made of glass - brick - or other materials.






23. An elevation tag that refers to an existing elevation or drafting view. When you add a ______ to a project - Revit Architecture does not create a new view for it. Instead - the reference elevation uses an existing elevation - allowing you to indicate
