To use a view as the underlay for the current view, set the Underlay parameter in its view properties. See
View Properties on page 210.
Uniformat assembly code A standard classification of building elements and related site work.
During the design phase of a building project, Uniformat assembly codes can be used to define performance
specifications and technical requirements, and to generate cost estimates for the project.
For more information, see
unit The basic quantity or amount used as a standard for measuring.
When you install Revit Architecture, you specify whether you want to use imperial units (feet and inches)
or metric units (meters and centimeters). You can also change the type of units used in a project. See
Units on page 492 and Creating Custom Dimension Units
V
vertex (1) For a 2-dimensional polygon, an intersection of 2 sides.
vertex (2) For a 3-dimensional shape, an intersection of 3 sides. When you blend 2D shapes to create a 3D
shape, you can use vertex connections to control the rate at which one shape is blended to another shape.
See Editing Vertex Connections
view See project view on page 1440.
View Control Bar A panel of buttons providing quick access to functions that control the current view. Use
the View Control Bar to change the scale, detail level, model graphics style, shadowing, crop views, and
display of elements or categories in the view.
The View Control Bar is located at the bottom of the Revit drawing area. For more information, see
Control Bar on page 62.
view depth A horizontal plane that helps to define the view range in a floor plan or reflected ceiling plan.
By default, the view depth is the same as the bottom clip plane. However, you can specify the view depth
to show elements (such as foundation footings) below the bottom clip plane.
You define the view depth in the view range properties, which are accessible from the view properties. See
View Range on page 198.
view list A schedule (list) of all views in a project. The schedule includes the view parameters that you
specify. You can use a view list to manage the views in a project.
For more information, see
view properties Settings that control the appearance or behavior of a project view.
