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.

22. An elevation view that shows the structural framing of a building model. You can work in a ______ when adding vertical bracing to the model - or for any task that requires quick work plane alignment to a grid or to a named reference plane.






23. A non-physical item that is used to establish project context. ______ include levels - grids - and reference planes. For example - the following image shows a grid - which is used for the placement of columns and other model elements. The grid is not

25. 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.






26. A user interface mechanism that defines the slope of a roof - floor - or ceiling plane - using a line in the direction of the slope. Use a ______ when you know the height at the top and bottom of the object's plane rather than the slope. For example






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
