The most often used wall. It consists of one or more Layers (i.e., individual materials within the wall assembly-e.g. Gypsum Board) and continuous/horizontal Sweeps and/or Reveals.

basic wall

A wall divided by horizontal and vertical Mullions and filled with individual Curtain Panels. The Mullions can vary in size and the Curtain Panels can represent various types of glass, spandrel panels, doors or a basic wall type. There are special corner mullions which work between two walls to make a more realistic looking corner condition.

curtain wall

A Stacked Wall consists of two or more Basic Walls stacked on top of each other. This is sometimes used to model more complicated exterior walls. The height of one wall is fixed and the other variable. Right-click a Stacked Wall and select Break Up to separate the two walls into normal Basic Walls.

which window option allows you to select only the objects that are completely within the window. Any lines that extend out of the window are not selected.

window

which window allows you to select all the entities that are completely within the window and any that extend outside the window.

crossing window

What is the meaning of EQ symbol with a slash? What are the uses of EQ option?

An eq symbol with a slash means the components being measured are not equal in length. Selecting the eq option makes the dimensions equally spaced

What are the differences between the coarse and fine of Detail Line?

the coarse detail line shows the outline of the wall type. the fine detail line shows each individual component

What is the purpose of Chain un marking in the Options bar?

the purpose of chain un-marking is to turn off automatically connecting consecutive walls

What is a "witness line"? What is the purpose of the witness line?

a witness line is an extension line showing what the dimension is measuring

What are the residential and commercial door heights?

the standard residential door height is 80” and the standard commercial door height is 84”.

The door Families loaded in the commercial template of a REVIT File do not have frames.

true

The size of the door tag isn't controlled by the view's scale. (T/F) Door tags can be deleted at any time and adde again later at any time, and tags simply display information in the element being tagged - thus, no informatic about the element is being deleted.

(t/f)

false, true

If the top offset is 3', then what will the parapet height be?

What are the benefits of using the "Pick Walls" option on the ribbon while placing a roof on a building?

What is the difference between printer vs plotter? Write 3-5 sentences to explain properly.

a printer uses dots to print documents on to pieces of paper. a plotted uses lines to draw precise. this is why plotted are used to print technical drawings like blueprints.
