32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Location line
- A wall property that specifies which vertical reference plane of the wall (e.g., centerline, finish face exterior) aligns with the line drawn in plan.
- Join geometry
- A tool that controls how intersecting elements clean up; the Switch Join Order option reverses which element's cut prevails at the intersection.
- Cut geometry
- A tool used to cut a solid element (such as a roof or wall) with a void; the void must be created and then used to cut the target.
- Roof by footprint
- A modeling method where the roof outline is sketched on a level; slope is defined by slope arrows or by setting a slope value on sketch lines.
- Curtain wall grid
- A layout of vertical and horizontal lines on a curtain wall; grids can be placed by number or distance and can host mullions and panels.
- Stair run properties
- Parameters including run width, riser height, and tread depth; the actual riser count is calculated from total rise and maximum riser height.
- View template
- A set of view-specific settings (scale, detail level, visibility/graphics, annotation categories) that can be assigned to multiple views.
- Schedule properties
- A dialog for configuring a schedule's fields, filters, sorting, and formatting; schedules are tabular views that can be placed on sheets.
- Keynote
- An annotation that references standardized text from a keynote file; it can be placed by element or by material and is view-specific.
- Revision cloud
- An annotation placed in a view to indicate changed content; revisions are tracked in the Sheet Issues/Revisions dialog and appear on sheets.
- Permanent dimension
- A dimension added with the Dimension tool; it can be constrained (locked) to maintain design intent and is visible in the view.
- Titleblock family
- A family that defines the sheet border and title information; it is placed on sheets and can include labels for project data.
- Worksharing
- A collaboration method where a central model is created and users work in local copies, synchronizing changes with the central model.
- Workset
- A collection of elements used to organize a project for visibility control and collaboration; each element belongs to one workset.
- Element borrowing
- A worksharing process where a user edits an element owned by another user; ownership is requested and granted on save or sync.
- Shared coordinates
- A coordinate system used to align linked models; the project base point and survey point define the project and real-world origins.
- Phasing
- A project management feature where phases (existing, new construction, demolition) are assigned to elements; phase filters control display per view.
- Design options
- A feature for studying alternatives; option sets contain options, and the primary option is visible by default; options can be accepted into the main model.
- Central model
- The master workshared model stored on a network; users create local copies and synchronize with it to share changes.
- Family template
- A starting file for creating a family; the template determines the family category and provides required parameters and reference planes.
- Reference plane
- A work plane used for constraints and dimensioning in a family; it can be named and used to host geometry and parameters.
- Shared parameter
- A parameter stored in an external file so it can be used across families and projects for scheduling and tagging.
- Family Types dialog
- A dialog for creating and editing type and instance parameters, testing values, and flexing the family to verify constraints.
- Void form
- A negative solid used to cut other solids in a family; it must be created and then used with Cut Geometry to remove material.
- Nested family
- A family loaded into another family; parameters can be associated to control the nested component, and shared parameters enable scheduling.
- Formula parameter
- A parameter whose value is calculated from other parameters using arithmetic and conditional statements; units must be consistent.
- Extrusion
- A solid form created by extruding a closed profile along a straight path; it is one of the basic form creation tools in families.
- Sweep
- A solid form created by sweeping a profile along a path; the path can be 3D and the profile is typically a closed loop.
- Blend
- A solid form created by blending between two profiles at different heights; it is used for tapered shapes in families.
- Revolve
- A solid form created by revolving a profile around an axis; the axis is defined by a reference line or plane.
- Swept blend
- A solid form created by sweeping a profile along a path while blending between two profiles at the ends.
- Visibility setting
- A form property that controls whether the form is visible in the family; it can be linked to a parameter for conditional visibility.
