APPENDIX C
Review Documentation Property Set
This appendix contains a collection of 3D modeling terms, definitions, references, synonyms, attributes, and metadata about the design and 3D model–review process and documentation (Table C-1). This vocabulary list can serve as a starting point for agencies to develop their own lists of synonyms. Agencies need to manage their own vocabularies so they can cross-reference different standards.
