1) What is Revit used for?

- Revit is used for to model and plan for the construction of buildings. It is
used by many architects and can be used to view many aspects of the
building in question.

2) Write down 10 different tools used in Revit and each of its functions.

- Structure Label:Creates automatic labels of the structure of compound walls,

roofs or floors, including the material and thickness of each layer in the selected
building element. On any change in the structure, the label will be automatically
updated. Supports also combined/attached floors and walls. The labels can by
customized by editing the family "CS_Arial_2mm". You can assign this command
to a keyboard shortcut. In Settings you can specify the modifier for material
names - using regular expressions you can remove any numerical thickness
information (to avoid duplicate thickness values).

- Job Time Tracker:Automatically tracks your true (net) time spent on editing a
particular project (job). You can specify idle time delays (pauses between
commands) which won't be calculated into the total project time. You can track
individual sessions, total time and the number of executed commands. The
resulting data can be exported to Excel.

- Extended Filter:The function Extended filter offers - compared to the default Revit
filtering - a more detailed selection of drawing elements. It allows to limit the
selection to a project, to the current view or to a selection set. You can group
selected components by level, room or category in any order. You can also filter
by parameters contained in families.

- Reference List:The function Reference List displays a list of all referenced files in
the current project - e.g. linked DWG and RVT files, keynotes, shared parameters,
decals (images).
- Floor Legend:Creates a visual legend (list) of selected floors, ceilings and roofs,
incl. the labels for each layer (component). You can deploy this list to one or
multiple views.

- Elements Legend:Generates a legend of windows and doors used in the project

(not updated automatically). Choose a category, type and paramaters of the
elements for the generated table.

- Type Legend:Generates a drawing with given drawing frame and inserts an

element table with selected parameters and a legend of a selected element in a
project (the table is automatically updated). Choose the category, type ane
element parameters to generate the table.

- Wall Legend:Generates a legend of walls used in the project (not updated

automatically). Choose the wall types for the generated table.

- Floors Room:The function Floors in Room detects all floor types present in a
specific room and inserts the "Floor type label" as a shared parameter to the
room. So you can use it not only in schedules but also in room labels. In case of
multiple floors stacked on each other, only the highest one is processed. Only
straight (non-sloped) floors are supported.

- Dimensions:Continued dimension dimensions automatically all walls on a virtual

ray. Just pick two points of the ray and all walls will be dimensioned.The function
Wall performs automatic dimensioning of the selected wall with multiple values.
You can choose to dimension voids, openings, connected walls or only the overall
dimensions. Specified dimension texts are automatically offset with predefined
spacing. The "Opening" option dimension also the window height.
