Revit Definition of Terms
1. ANNOTATION
A 2D, view-specific element that you use to document a building or design. For example, symbols, tags, keynotes, and dimensions are annotations (also referred to as annotation elements). Annotation elements are always displayed at the same paper size regardless of view scale.
2. ARCHICAD A CAD software from the company GraphiSoft and is similar with Revit. 3. AUTOCAD
An Autodesk product. AutoCAD enables you to create, visualize, document, and share your ideas, from conceptual design through drafting and detailing. You can import AutoCAD files for use in Revit projects, and you can export Revit files for use in AutoCAD projects.
4. BIM Building Information Modeling
A design methodology that maintains a single database of information about a building design. All information for a building design, from geometry to construction data, is stored in a project file. This information includes components used to design the model, views of the project, drawings of the design, and related documentation. In a Revit project, every drawing sheet, 2D and 3D view, and schedule is a representation of information from the same underlying building model database. For more information,
5. BUBBLE
A shape (such as a circle or cloud) that contains identification text for a grid, level, view title, callout, or annotation.
6. BUILDING PAD
A flat surface that is designed to be occupied by buildings and is prepared by grading, excavating, filling, or a combination of these. In Revit Architecture, you can add a building pad to a toposurface, and then modify the structure and depth of the pad.
7. CAD
Computer-Aided-Design The use of computer-based tools that assist engineers, architects, and other design professionals in their design work.
8. CAMERA
A visualization tool that you use to create a 3D view of a building model. When you place a camera in a 2D view, you can control the target point, the camera level, and the focal point
