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.

4. The beginning of a sketched line.

10. The proportional system used to represent objects in a drawing. In Revit Architecture - you can assign a different ______ to each view.

15. A model element that defines a boundary of a room. For example - walls - partitions - floors - ceilings - and roofs are room-bounding elements. Revit Architecture uses room-bounding elements when calculating the area or volume of a room. You can desi






16. Part of the Revit interface that displays information about what is highlighted or selected - or hints on what to do next. The ______ is located in the lower left corner of the Revit window.






17. An Autodesk product. ______ integrates a physical model for layout - coordination - and documentation with an independently editable analytical model for building design and analysis. Using a single building information model and dynamic linking to t






18. A graphical icon in the Revit drawing area that you can use to reverse the position or orientation of an element in the drawing area. For example - when you click the ______for a compound wall - the wall flips over - so its layers reverse.






19. To explicitly join elements (such as walls or columns) to other modeling components. For example - you can ______ walls to floors - ceilings - and roofs. You can ______ columns to roofs - floors - ceilings - reference planes - structural framing memb






20. A model element that can accept other components. For example - a wall is a ______ for windows and doors. A roof is a ______ for skylights and dormers. A ______ may also be referred to as a ______ element or a ______ component.






21. An annotation used to identify elements in a drawing. ______ provide a way to automate the display of attributes for an element or type. Revit Architecture provides default ______ for some types of elements - such as windows - doors - and rooms. You






22. A graphic design for surfaces that are cut or shown in projection. You can use ______ for model patterns and drafting patterns.






23. A graphic style applied to an element when a view (such as a section view) cuts through the element - so that you are seeing a representation of its interior surface. For the ______ of an element - you can specify the line weight - color - and patter






24. Project coordinates that are used for remembering the mutual positions of multiple interlinked files. Those interlinked files can be all RVT files - or a combination of RVT - DWG - and DXF files.






25. A list of keynote numbers and the corresponding keynote text. If you choose to annotate model elements using keynote numbers only - you can use a ______ to provide descriptive text for each keynote number. By using a keynote legend - you avoid clutte






26. A set of connected straight line segments. Polylines typically define open loops.






27. A list of model elements that belong to a particular family type but that differ in size or other characteristics. Using ______ - you can load only the size you need - rather than loading the entire family type. For example - suppose that you want to
