weights
linear Arranged in a line.
For example, when you create a linear array, the elements in the array are arranged along a straight line. See
Creating a Linear Array on page 295.
link To connect a file to a Revit project. When a linked file is updated, the updated information is
automatically made available in the Revit project. Linking avoids the need to re-import updated information
into the project.
In Revit Architecture, you can create a link between projects. You can also link CAD files and DWF markup
files to a Revit project. See
Import/Link on page 1306 and Working with Linked Models on page 1213.
listening dimensions A Revit feature that allows you to specify a value for a dimension as you sketch an
element in a view. You specify a start point for the element, start sketching in the desired direction, type
the exact dimension desired, and press
ENTER . Revit Architecture draws the element to the specified length.
The following image shows the text box that appears when you start to type a listening dimension. For more
information, see
Listening Dimensions on page 233.
load To transfer a file or a collection of information from an outside location into a Revit project.
In Revit Architecture, you can load groups, templates, detail components, entourage, materials, families of
model elements and annotation elements, and other project information.
