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.

21. Coordinate plotting grids for non-planar surfaces. Plotting locations in a 3D space is based on an XYZ coordinate system - while 2D Space is based on an XY system. Since surfaces are not necessarily planar - the UVW coordinate system is used to plot






22. An open schema created to help building designers gather information about the energy consumption characteristics of building projects. To perform energy analysis for a building model - you can export a Revit project to ______. Using a third-party ap






23. The settings used in a project that you want to apply to another project. ______ include family types - line weights - materials - view templates - and object styles.






24. In Revit Architecture - a section of a curtain wall or a curtain system. ______ are separated by mullions. ______ can consist of glass or different types of walls.






25. A group of view-specific elements that are associated with a model group. For example - an ______ may be comprised of door tags and window tags.






26. An open file format that is supported by many CAD applications. A ______ file is a text file that describes a 2D drawing. The text is not encoded or compressed - so ______ files are generally large. Revit Architecture can import and export DXF files.






27. 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

33. A design methodology that maintains a single database of information about a building design. All information for a building design - from geometry to construction data - is stored in a project file. This information includes components used to desig






34. A set of spatial relationships in a building. For example - in an office building - you may want to distinguish between common space (such as lobbies - hallways - rest rooms - and kitchens) - office space - and storage. In an apartment building - you






35. A drafting term that refers to rounding a square corner - using a radius to define the curve.






36. A model graphics style in which Revit Architecture displays the image of the model with all edges and lines drawn - but no surfaces.

38. The graphic shape used to represent the end of a dimension - such as an arrow or a slash.






39. A photorealistic image of a building model used to evaluate the impact of natural light and shadows on the buildings and site.






40. For a 3-dimensional shape - an intersection of 3 sides. When you blend 2D shapes to create a 3D shape - you can use ______ connections to control the rate at which one shape is blended to another shape.






41. A Revit feature that allows you to specify a value for a dimension as you sketch an element in a view. You specify a start point for the element - start sketching in the desired direction - type the exact dimension desired - and press Enter. Revit Ar

43. A 3-dimensional shape that results from removing shapes from solid geometry.






44. Text that documents a building model. ______ are usually related to a parameter for a model element or type. You can create ______ families and nest them inside host model families - so that the annotations display in the project. This is useful if y






45. A dimension that specifies a particular size for an element or a distance between elements or points. ______ always display in the view in which they are created. You can lock ______ so that they cannot be changed without first unlocking them. You ca






46. 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






47. A copy of a view. Use ______ when a view of the building model is too large to display on a single sheet - and you need to divide the model into smaller segments that fit on the sheets. The ______ remains synchronous with the primary view and other d






48. Part of the Revit interface that shows a logical hierarchy for all views - schedules - sheets - families - groups - and linked Revit models in the current project.
