work plane A planar surface on which you can add sketch lines or other components.
Each view in Revit Architecture is associated with a work plane. In some views (such as plan, 3D, and drafting)
and for views in the Family Editor, the work plane is automatically defined. In other views, such as elevation
and section views, you need to define the plane. The work plane is necessary for sketching operations (such
as creating an extruded roof) and for using tools in particular views (such as Rotate and Mirror in a 3D view).
For more information, see Sketching and Work Planes on page 265.
workset A collection of elements in a workshared project that can be worked on independently. A workset
is typically a discrete functional area, such as interior, exterior, or site. When you enable worksharing, you
can divide a project into worksets, with different team members responsible for each workset.
For more information, see Setting Up Worksets on page 1191.
worksharing A design method in which different team members are responsible for designing different
functional areas of the same project file.
See Working in a Team on page 1189.
xref See external reference on page 1396.
z-direction The direction of the third axis (the z-axis) in a 3-dimensional coordinate system.
zoning envelope A set of legal constraints on a building project that defines the volume within which the
building must be contained. These constraints include the maximum height of the building, the percentage
of the lot that the building can cover, and rear and side setbacks.
zoom To change the magnification of a view.
