Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

36. A 3D view of a building model - in which components that are further away appear smaller than those that are closer. In Revit Architecture - you create a ______ by placing a camera in a 3D view.






37. A linked set of lines or walls. When drawing walls or lines in a building model - you can simplify the process by drawing a ______. You can also select a ______ of lines or walls to manipulate them simultaneously.






38. A design method in which different team members are responsible for designing different functional areas of the same project file.






39. A graphic style applied to an element when a view displays the element - so that you are seeing a representation of its exterior surface. For the ______ of an element - you can specify the line weight - color - and fill pattern.
