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. Reference planes are displayed in the conceptual design environment in the 3-dimensional views.






15. A user interface mechanism that controls the visibility of datum planes (levels - reference lines - and grids) in views. When you add grids - levels - and reference lines to a project - they may display in more views than desired. For example - when






16. A view whose plane is parallel to the plane of another view. For example - a Level 1 floor plan is parallel to a Level 2 floor plan. An east elevation view is parallel to a west elevation view. The following drawing illustrates the parallel planes th

18. The North/South and East/West coordinates of an individual point with respect to the shared coordinate system for a group of linked Revit projects.






19. A line of a particular pattern - weight - and color - used to indicate different effects. For example - in the following site plan - a red dashed line indicates the zoning setback. Revit Architecture predefines several ______ and uses them for defaul






20. A column that supports a vertical load in addition to its own weight.






21. A list of all instances of annotations (Also referred to as an annotation schedule). Note blocks are useful for listing notes that are applied to elements in a project.






22. In a 3D context - ______ moves the camera left and right. In a 2D context - ______ scrolls the view. If you are using ______ with an active view on a sheet - ______ scrolls the sheet view - not the active view on the sheet.






23. A menu of context-sensitive options. A ______ displays when you right-click an element or view.






24. A file format supported by MicroStation of Bentley Systems - Inc. Revit Architecture can import and export ______ files.






25. A curved line drawn by specifying and positioning a number of points. Revit Architecture uses a mathematical polynomial function to smoothly join the segments at these points - creating the curved line.






26. Solid geometry that turns (revolves) around an axis. For example - you can use the Revolve tool to design a dome roof - a column - or door knobs.






27. A surface of a model element or mass. You can apply paint - materials - and textures to each ______ of a model element (such as a wall). These details display when you render an image of the building model. You can use mass ______ as the basis for cr
