20. Project coordinates that are used for remembering the mutual positions of multiple interlinked files. Those interlinked files can be all RVT files - or a combination of RVT - DWG - and DXF files.






21. To disassemble an import symbol (which represents imported geometry) into its next highest level of elements.






22. An Autodesk product. ______ optimizes mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) systems engineering through data-driven system sizing and design. It provides a building information modeling design and documentation solution for MEP engineering.






23. Usable space that is defined by walls or boundary lines or both. In Revit Architecture - you can perform an area analysis to define spatial relationships in a building model.






24. A section tag that refers to an existing section view. When you create a ______ - Revit Architecture does not create a new view in the project. Instead - the ______ uses an existing section - allowing you to indicate different areas that have identic






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






26. Solid geometry that turns (revolves) around an axis. For example - you can use the Revolve tool to design a dome roof - a column - or door knobs.






27. A user interface mechanism that defines the slope of a roof - floor - or ceiling plane - using a line in the direction of the slope. Use a ______ when you know the height at the top and bottom of the object's plane rather than the slope. For example






28. (1) To jump to a line or reference point in a drawing. (2) A line or reference point to which Revit Architecture will jump when you are placing a component or sketching a line. When you place a model element or sketch a line in a drawing - Revit Arch
