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.
1. For a subcomponent of a family - a property that defines its display (the line weight - line color - and line pattern). For example - you can assign one ______ to the wood trim of a window and another ______ to the glass.

15. A mechanism for determining which elements are selected (for modification or manipulation) based on their family types or element parameters.






16. The Autodesk file format for publishing design data. It offers an alternative to generating PDF (Portable Document Format) files. DWF files are significantly smaller than the original RVT files - making them easy to send by email or to post to a web






17. A set of characteristics that define the line weight - line color - line pattern - and material for a category of model elements - annotation elements - or imported objects in a project.






18. A set of initial conditions for a project. Revit Architecture provides several ______ - and you can create your own ______. Any new project based on a ______ inherits all families - settings (such as units - fill patterns - line styles - line weights






19. A 3-dimensional shape that has measurable volume. Non-volumetric geometry refers to a 2-dimensional shape.






20. A planar surface on which you can add sketch lines or other components. Each view in Revit Architecture is associated with a ______. In some views (such as plan - 3D - and drafting) and for views in the Family Editor - the ______ is automatically def






21. The file type for a Revit project template.






22. A vertical or horizontal plane that defines a boundary for a view. You can use top - bottom - left - and right ______ to define a view. In elevation and section views - you can also use a far ______ to define the depth of the view. Green dotted lines






23. A dashed line representing an edge or surface that cannot be seen in a view. For example - in the following image - 2 bolts go through the stud. The view shows the ______ of one bolt but does not show the ______ of the second bolt.






24. 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.






25. Vegetation used to create a landscape around a building design. Revit Architecture provides a library of ______ families. You can also create or download additional plants.






26. A model graphics style in which Revit Architecture shows the image with all surfaces shaded according to their material color settings and project light locations. A default light source provides illumination for the ______ elements.






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






28. The calculated adjustment in beam geometry that ensures beam ends meet without overlaying one another at a join. This is the visible gap seen in a steel beam connection within the Revit project.






29. A Revit function for workshared projects. ______ allows you to edit an element in a workset that you do not own. If another team member is currently editing the workset - that team member is the owner of the workset and you must place a request to bo






30. A user interface mechanism that defines the boundaries of a view. Elements in the building model that are outside the ______ do not display in the view or on a sheet on which the view is placed. In the following floor plan view - the inner - solid re
