Roof overhang detail
DGN A file format supported by MicroStation of Bentley Systems, Inc. Revit Architecture can import and
export DGN files. For more information, see
dimension A view-specific element that shows the size of an element or shows distances between elements
or points in a building model.
As you place an element, Revit Architecture displays temporary dimensions so that you can place the element
accurately. You can create permanent dimensions and lock them to specify and maintain a particular size
or distance.
For more information, see
discipline A functional area (such as structural, mechanical, electrical, or architectural), or an area of expertise
(such as architecture, structural engineering, or construction).
In a Revit project, you can assign disciplines to categories and to views. You can then control the visibility
or graphic display of elements in a view based on assigned disciplines. For more information, see
Element Category Visibility
You can also specify project units by discipline and organize the Project Browser by discipline.
