computer-aided design (CAD)
The use of computer-based tools that assist engineers, architects, and other
design professionals in their design work.
constraint
A parameter that defines a relationship between elements in a building design. For example, you
can specify the top constraint for a wall as Level 2. If Level 2 moves upward, the height of the wall increases
to maintain the relationship.
For more information, see
Constraints
on page 247.
construction document
A document that communicates a building design to builders and contractors, so
they can create the building.
Revit Architecture generates construction documents using the information about the building model stored
in the project file, along with user-added annotation, detailing, and layout information. For more information,
see
Preparing Construction Documents
on page 967.
Construction Specifications Institute (CSI)
An association that provides technical information, standards,
continuing education, and other services to architects, engineers, contractors, and other building professionals.
