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.

24. A 3-dimensional shape that has measurable volume. Non-volumetric geometry refers to a 2-dimensional shape.






25. A template for a sheet. A ______ generally includes information about the company - address - date of the project - and revisions.






26. A line that provides information but is not intended to represent actual geometry in an element. For example - when creating a door family - you might sketch ______ in an elevation view to represent a door swing. ______ are visible parallel to the vi






27. To apply a material to a surface of a model element. In Revit Architecture - you can ______ walls - floors - roofs - and masses. In the following image - the wall - door - door frame - and window frame are ______ different colors.
