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.

14. 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.






15. An elevation tag that refers to an existing elevation or drafting view. When you add a ______ to a project - Revit Architecture does not create a new view for it. Instead - the reference elevation uses an existing elevation - allowing you to indicate






16. A series of lines that you can use to help draw or place elements in a building design. ______ are useful in the design and documentation phases of a project. In Revit Architecture - ______ are datum elements.






17. A setting that determines the appearance or behavior of an element - type - or view. Also called a parameter.






18. A view in which the annotation symbol for the current view is visible. For example - if you use the Find ______ tool for an elevation view - Revit Architecture lists all views in which its elevation symbol is visible.






19. A component family that either has connectors or has the capability of hosting connectors that become functional when linked in a civil engineering application - such as AutoCAD® Civil 3D®.






20. To change the size of a model element. For example - in Revit Architecture you can ______ a wall or a foundation to adjust to changing specifications.






21. A sample patch of a color or pattern. When you apply a color scheme to rooms - the floor plan can display a color scheme legend - which indicates the colors and what they represent. The color scheme legend includes color ______.






22. A schedule (list) of all drawing sheets in a project. The drawing list functions as a table of contents for the project. It is typically placed on the first sheet of a construction document set.






23. The proportional system used to represent objects in a drawing. In Revit Architecture - you can assign a different ______ to each view.






24. A wall that is inserted into another wall of a different type or construction. ______ are useful - for example - when you need to create a storefront on a building exterior. The following image shows a curtain wall embedded in a host wall.






25. The ______ defines the origin (0 -0 -0) of the project coordinate system. It also can be used to position a building on a site and for locating the design elements of a building during construction.






26. Parameters or settings that control the appearance or behavior of elements in a project. ______ are the combination of instance properties and type properties. To view or change ______ - select the element in the drawing area - click Modify <element>






27. The file format for a Revit family.






28. A wall that supports no additional vertical load except its own weight. ______ can be used to define and divide spaces in Revit Architecture.






29. A wall that holds back earth (for example - at the edge of a terrace or excavation). In Revit Architecture - you can specify that a wall type functions as a retaining wall in the type properties.






30. An exterior wall consisting of panels connected by joints or mullions. The panels can be made of glass - brick - or other materials.
