19. 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 provid






20. To display only a certain element or type of element - so that you can work with it in a particular view without being distracted by other elements in the design.






21. 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 _






22. Settings that control the appearance or behavior of all elements of a particular family type. ______ are also called type properties. The instance parameters and ______ of an element combine to establish its element properties.






23. A model graphics style in which Revit Architecture displays the image of the model with all edges and lines drawn - but no surfaces.






24. An image to display on a face of a model element. For example - you can use ______ for signs - paintings - and billboards. In project views - a placeholder indicates the location of a ______. The full ______ displays in a rendered image. The followin






25. To connect a file to a Revit project. When a ______ file is updated - the updated information is automatically made available in the Revit project. ______ avoids the need to re-import updated information into the project. In Revit Architecture - you
