model group A set of model elements that are placed together in a building design. Model groups are useful
when you need to create entities that represent repeating units or are common to many building projects
(such as hotel rooms, apartments, or repeating floors).
Compare with attached detail group on page 1373 and detail group on page 1389.
The following illustration shows a model group (highlighted in red) that has been placed in multiple hotel
rooms. See
Editing Elements in Groups on page 284.
model line A model element that exists in 3D space and is visible in all views of a Revit project. You can
use model lines to represent 3D geometry in a building design, such as cords or cables that secure a tarp.
You can sketch straight, curved, arc, circular, fillet, and tangent lines. (Compare with
detail line on page 1390
and symbolic line on page 1462.)
The following truss uses a model line to represent the beam stick symbol. For more information, see Model
Lines on page 741.
model pattern A graphic design that is applied to the surface of a model element. Model patterns represent
the actual appearance of an element, such as brick coursing or ceramic tile on a wall. They are fixed with
respect to the model and scale with the model. See
Fill Patterns on page 449.
