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.

7. The area covered by or required by an object. For example - the ______ of a toaster on your kitchen counter is the amount of countertop that the toaster covers. In Revit Architecture - you can create a roof or floor based on the ______ of the walls.






8. 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.

10. A stage or time period in the construction process of a building project. Typical ______ include existing construction - demolition - remodeling - and new construction. Revit Architecture tracks the ______ in which views or components are created or






11. A panel of buttons providing quick access to functions that control the current view. Use the ______ to change the scale - detail level - model graphics style - shadowing - crop views - and display of elements or categories in the view. The ______ is






12. A view of a floor plan or a reflected ceiling plan for a building model.






13. 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.






14. A defined area that obscures elements in a view. ______ are useful when you are creating a model family from an imported 2D DWG file - and you need the model element to obscure other elements when placed in a view. You can also use them to hide parts






15. Text displayed in a callout tag when a reference callout is created in the plan view - or text displayed in a section head when a reference section is created in the plan view.






16. The part of the Revit user interface that displays views - sheets - schedules - and other representations of the building model.






17. Controlled by parameters. In a Revit project - parameters define the relationships between elements of the building model. These relationships are created automatically by Revit Architecture and by you as you create the design. As you work in drawing






18. A family of model elements that can be used to create subcomponents of a nested family. When you use ______ to create a nested family - you can select - tag - and schedule the individual subcomponents in a project. (If subcomponents are not from ____






19. Settings that control the appearance or behavior of all elements of a particular family type. ______ are also called type properties. The instance parameters and ______ of an element combine to establish its element properties.






20. The file type for a Revit project template.






21. An individual item in a building model. Revit Architecture projects use 3 types of ______: Model ______ represent the actual 3D geometry of a building. For example - walls - floors - and roofs are model ______ - Annotation ______ help to document the






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






23. A shape (such as a circle or cloud) that contains identification text for a grid - level - view title - callout - or annotation.






24. A symbol indicating a dependent view to which the primary view is linked.






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. An Autodesk feature that allows you to drag and drop content from a web page into a Revit session. Using ______ - designers and developers have the power to create web pages that can easily be dragged and dropped into Autodesk design products that ar






27. The top of the view in the drawing area. When producing solar studies or rendered images - change the view orientation from ______ to True North to create accurate sunlight and shadow patterns for the project.






28. The beginning of a sketched line.






29. To shorten selected elements to meet a specified boundary.






30. One or more masses in a Revit project. ______ allow you to explore design ideas by using shapes to conceptualize a building model. When your conceptual design is complete - you can add building elements directly to these shapes.






31. A representation of a building model that simulates a person walking through the model along a defined path. The following ______ view shows the ______ path in red.






32. A collection of predefined project resources that are available on the Internet. For example - you can access ______ of templates - detail components - entourage - and families of model elements and annotation elements.
