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.

10. 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.

14. A construction document. In Revit Architecture - you place project views on ______ to create a construction document set.

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

18. To divide a single object into multiple objects or sections. In a Revit project - you can ______ walls - lines - faces - toposurfaces - layers in vertically compound walls - and schedules using various ______ tools.






19. 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






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






21. Autodesk Exchange File - the file format used by Autodesk applications to transmit design information.






22. A divided surface on which geometric shapes have been applied. These patterns become part of the surface and (depending on their shape) will require a specific number of grid cells when applied.






23. To display only a certain element or type of element - so that you can work with it in a particular view without being distracted by other elements in the design.






24. 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






25. The point in the distance on which a camera is focusing.






26. A Revit family that can be used as a building block for creating families. Revit Architecture provides ______ for floors - walls - ceilings - roofs - drawing sheets - viewports - and other elements. You cannot delete ______.






27. 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
