24. A set of horizontal planes that control the visibility and display of objects in a view. The horizontal planes are Top Clip Plane - Cut Plane - Bottom Clip Plane - and View Depth. Elements outside the ______ do not display in the view.






25. A column that adds architectural interest to a building. An ______ can be used to model box-outs around structural columns and for decorative applications.






26. 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






27. A model element that defines a boundary of a room. For example - walls - partitions - floors - ceilings - and roofs are room-bounding elements. Revit Architecture uses room-bounding elements when calculating the area or volume of a room. You can desi

30. 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.






31. A graphic style applied to an element when a view (such as a section view) cuts through the element - so that you are seeing a representation of its interior surface. For the ______ of an element - you can specify the line weight - color - and patter






32. 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).

34. A set of spatial relationships in a building. For example - in an office building - you may want to distinguish between common space (such as lobbies - hallways - rest rooms - and kitchens) - office space - and storage. In an apartment building - you






35. A non-physical item that is used to establish project context. ______ include levels - grids - and reference planes. For example - the following image shows a grid - which is used for the placement of columns and other model elements. The grid is not






36. An open file format that is supported by many CAD applications. A ______ file is a text file that describes a 2D drawing. The text is not encoded or compressed - so ______ files are generally large. Revit Architecture can import and export DXF files.






37. A project view or imported file that you use to help position elements in the current view. For example - when you use a section view as an ______ to a detail view - model elements in the detail view display in halftone or a different line weight and






38. To change the magnification of a view. In a 3D context - ______ moves the camera in and out. In a 2D context - ______ moves up and down perpendicular to the view. To ______ in is to increase the magnification - making the building appear larger. To _






39. The state of being aligned with (or facing the same direction as) a particular item or direction. For example - in Revit Architecture you can change the ______ of a view to True North - or you can change the ______ of a compound wall to reverse the o

41. A drawing file format supported by AutoCAD and other CAD applications. Revit Architecture can import and export ______ files.






42. A list of all instances of annotations (Also referred to as an annotation schedule). Note blocks are useful for listing notes that are applied to elements in a project.






43. The calculated adjustment in beam geometry that ensures beam ends meet without overlaying one another at a join. This is the visible gap seen in a steel beam connection within the Revit project.






44. A filter with user-defined rules that determine the visibility/graphics settings for model elements in a particular view. For example - you can create a ______ that displays all fire-rated walls as solid red in a plan view to distinguish them from no






45. A user interface mechanism that you drag to change the shape of an element in the building model. A ______ appears in the selection color.






46. 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






47. The size of a datum plane (a plane for a level - grid - or reference line). Datum planes are not visible in all views. If the datum does not intersect a view plane - it will not be visible in that view. You can resize datum planes so that they are vi






48. An annotation used to identify elements in a drawing. ______ provide a way to automate the display of attributes for an element or type. Revit Architecture provides default ______ for some types of elements - such as windows - doors - and rooms. You
