When you place a slab in the plan view, Revit Architecture creates a span direction component. Rotate the
span direction component to change the orientation of the slab. For more information, see
on page 869.
spline A curved line drawn by specifying and positioning a number of points. Revit Architecture uses a
mathematical polynomial function to smoothly join the segments at these points, creating the curved line.
See Best Practices for Sketching a Spline
split To divide a single object into multiple objects or sections.
In a Revit project, you can split walls, lines, faces, toposurfaces, layers in vertically compound walls, and
schedules using various split tools and commands.
spot coordinate The North/South and East/West coordinates of an individual point with respect to the
shared coordinate system for a group of linked Revit projects.
See Reporting North, South, East, and West Spot Coordinates
spot elevation dimension The elevation of a selected point. Use spot elevation dimensions to determine a
point of elevation for ramps, roads, toposurfaces, and stair landings.
For more information, see
stacked wall A wall that has 2 or more horizontal layers, each consisting of different materials and surfaces.
See Vertically Stacked Walls
stair calculator A Revit tool that automates the creation of stairs based on a specified minimum tread depth
and maximum riser height.
For more information, see
stairs A series of steps that allow you to go from one level to another. Also referred to as a staircase.
