shape handle A user interface mechanism that you drag to change the shape of an element in the building
model. A shape handle appears in the selection color (red by default).
For more information, see Shape Handles on page 282.
shared coordinates Project coordinates that are used for remembering the mutual positions of multiple
interlinked files. Those interlinked files can be all RVT files, or a combination of RVT, DWG, and DXF files.
See
Shared Positioning on page 1230.
shared family A family of model elements that can be used to create subcomponents of a nested family .
When you use shared families to create a nested family, you can select, tag, and schedule the individual
subcomponents in a project. (If subcomponents are not from shared families, Revit Architecture treats an
instance of the nested family as a single item for selecting, tagging, and scheduling.)
See also nested family on page 1428. For more information, see Shared Families on page 410.
shared parameters User-defined fields that you add to families or projects and then share with other families
and projects. They are stored in a file independently of a family file or Revit project; this allows you to access
the file from different families or projects. In addition, shared parameters can be used in tags for model
elements, and they can display in schedules.
Compare with project parameters on page 1440. For more information, see Shared Parameters on page 440.
shear wall A wall composed of braced panels to counter the effects of lateral loads (such as wind and
earthquakes) acting on a structure. See Structural Walls on page 839.
sheet A construction document. Also referred to as a drawing sheet.
