32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Worksharing central model
- A central model is the master project file on a shared network location; users create local copies and synchronize changes back to it.
- Shared Coordinates
- A coordinate system shared among linked models; acquired from a link or published to links so all models align geographically.
- Copy/Monitor
- A tool that copies levels, grids, and columns from a linked model and monitors changes, flagging discrepancies in Coordination Review.
- View template
- A saved set of view properties including visibility, detail level, and discipline; applied to views to enforce consistent display standards.
- Interference Check
- A tool that detects clashes between selected element sets or linked models and exports results to an HTML report for review.
- Phase mapping
- A V/G setting that maps linked model phases to host phases so geometry displays in the correct project phase.
- System classification
- The connector property that assigns an element to Supply, Return, Exhaust, or Other Air; it determines which system types can be created.
- Equal Friction sizing
- A duct sizing method that maintains a constant friction loss per unit length across the system, commonly used for balanced layouts.
- Static Regain sizing
- A duct sizing method that sizes downstream sections so regained velocity pressure offsets friction loss, keeping static pressure constant at branches.
- Air terminal connector
- The connector on a diffuser or grille that carries flow and system classification; it must be connected to join a duct system.
- Zone aggregation
- A zone groups spaces so the system sums their airflow and load; zones drive system sizing and equipment selection.
- Routing preferences
- Settings that control which duct or pipe types, fittings, and minimum sizes are used when laying out systems automatically.
- Check Systems
- A panel that reports flow, pressure drop, and unconnected elements for a selected system before calculations are run.
- Fixture units
- A sizing unit based on the demand of a plumbing fixture; Hunter curves convert total fixture units to probable flow for domestic water sizing.
- Pipe slope lock
- A setting that fixes a pipe segment's slope so gravity drainage is maintained as the pipe is edited or moved.
- Hydronic supply loop
- The piping system that carries heated or chilled water from the source to terminal units; it pairs with a return loop.
- System Inspector
- A tool that displays flow, pressure, and size along a selected system branch to identify undersized or disconnected segments.
- Plumbing fixture connector
- The connector on a fixture family that carries system classification and flow, allowing the fixture to join domestic water or sanitary systems.
- Pipe routing preferences
- Settings that define pipe type, fitting families, and minimum size used when drawing or auto-routing piping systems.
- Shared parameters
- Parameters stored in an external text file so they can be used consistently across families, projects, tags, and schedules.
- Connector direction
- A connector property set to In, Out, or Bidirectional; it controls how flow enters or leaves the element in a system.
- Family type parameters
- Parameters defined per family type; they are shared by all instances of that type and can be scheduled by type.
- Nested parameter association
- A link between a nested family parameter and the parent family so the value is exposed and editable at the parent level.
- Formula parameter
- A family parameter whose value is computed from other parameters using Revit formula syntax such as if(condition, true, false).
- Labeled dimension
- A dimension assigned a parameter name; changing the parameter value drives the constrained geometry in a parametric family.
- Space element
- A model element that captures volume, airflow, and occupancy data for a bounded region and feeds load analysis and schedules.
- Calculated value
- A schedule field computed from a formula using other schedule fields; it adds derived data such as flow per area.
- Schedule key
- A schedule feature that applies a defined set of parameters to many elements at once, such as assigning design criteria in bulk.
- Heating and Cooling Loads
- A built-in analysis that computes loads from space boundaries, constructions, and airflow; results drive equipment sizing.
- System Browser
- A project browser view that organizes mechanical and plumbing systems hierarchically and shows flow, size, and connected elements.
- gbXML export
- An export format that transfers spaces, boundaries, and system data to external energy analysis tools; export settings control boundary detail.
- Sheet list schedule
- A schedule of sheets that tracks sheet numbers, names, and revisions; it documents the drawing set structure.
