32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Analytical model
- A simplified structural representation of physical elements, consisting of sticks, nodes, and surfaces used for analysis and export to structural analysis software.
- Cutback
- The automatic shortening of a framing member where it meets a column or wall, controlled by structural settings and start/end join cutback parameters.
- Cross-section rotation
- An instance parameter that rotates a framing member's profile about its longitudinal axis without rotating the element itself in the model.
- Shaft opening
- An opening that cuts through all elements intersecting its vertical extents between base and top constraints, unlike a floor opening.
- Structural usage
- A framing member parameter (beam, brace, column, girder, purlin, etc.) that classifies the member for schedules and analytical behavior.
- Copy/Monitor
- A tool that copies linked elements such as grids and levels into the host model and tracks changes, generating coordination alerts when the link changes.
- View template
- A saved set of view properties including visibility, filters, and scale that can be applied to views and optionally locked to prevent edits.
- Detail level
- A per-view setting (Coarse, Medium, Fine) that controls how much geometry and which symbols display for model elements.
- Schedule calculated value
- A schedule field computed by a formula from other fields, used for takeoffs such as total length or volume per type.
- Keynote
- An annotation that references a standardized note in a keynote file, displayed in a keynote legend placed on sheets.
- Callout view
- A cropped, referenced view of a portion of a parent view, placed on a sheet and linked to the parent by a callout bubble.
- Revision cloud
- An annotation drawn around changed areas of a view; revisions are numbered and tracked in Sheet Issues/Revisions and shown per sheet.
- Viewport alignment
- The use of the Align tool to position placed views on a sheet relative to titleblock edges or guide grids for consistent margins.
- Interference check
- A tool that compares selected categories between host and linked models and reports intersecting elements, exportable as a report.
- Acquire coordinates
- A command that reads the coordinate system of a linked model and applies it to the host model's shared coordinates.
- Publish coordinates
- A command that writes the host model's shared coordinate system to a linked model, aligning the link to the host.
- Coordination Review
- A dialog listing changes to monitored elements in linked models, where each item can be accepted, rejected, or postponed.
- Boundary condition
- A support condition such as pinned, fixed, or roller applied to analytical nodes or edges to define restraint for structural analysis.
- Load combination
- A named set of factored load cases used in analysis; combinations reference load cases and are exported with the analytical model.
- Consistency checker
- A tool that inspects the analytical model for unconnected nodes, unsupported elements, and non-planar surfaces before analysis.
- Manage Links
- A dialog listing linked models and their load status, used to reload, unload, or remove links affecting coordination results.
- Project base point
- The internal reference point for the model's coordinate system, from which level elevations and model geometry are measured.
- Survey point
- A reference point representing the real-world coordinate origin, used with shared coordinates to position the model geographically.
- Workset
- A named division of a workshared model that controls element ownership and visibility; new elements are placed on the active workset.
- View range
- A plan view setting defined by top, cut plane, bottom, and view depth that determines which geometry is visible and cut.
- Transfer Project Standards
- A command that copies settings such as view templates, object styles, and line weights from one project to another without copying geometry.
- Purge Unused
- A command that removes families, types, and materials not referenced in the model, reducing file size before archiving.
- Phase mapping
- The assignment of linked model phases to host phases so that phased views display linked elements with correct phase status.
- Reference plane
- A work plane in a family used to host geometry and drive parametric behavior when dimensions between planes are labeled with parameters.
- Type vs instance parameter
- Type parameters share one value across all instances of a type; instance parameters can differ for each placed element in the project.
- Shared nested family
- A nested family whose Shared checkbox is selected, making its elements schedulable and taggable independently in the project.
- Void form
- A family geometry element that cuts solids when the Cut Geometry tool is applied, used to create openings in family solids.
