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.

16. 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






17. A finite horizontal plane that acts as a reference for level-hosted elements - such as roofs - floors - and ceilings. In Revit Architecture - you define a ______ for each vertical height or story within a building - or other needed reference of the b






18. Coordinate plotting grids for non-planar surfaces. Plotting locations in a 3D space is based on an XYZ coordinate system - while 2D Space is based on an XY system. Since surfaces are not necessarily planar - the UVW coordinate system is used to plot






19. 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.






20. The graphic design (fill pattern) used to represent a surface when shown in projection.






21. An end of a wall that does not join to another wall. The unjoined end of the wall is exposed. You can specify whether compound wall layers wrap at ______. For example - the following image shows a cross-section of a compound wall that uses interior w






22. An annotation that consists of text and may include a leader line and arrow. You can add ______ to a detail view - drafting view - or a sheet.






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. To transfer a file or a collection of information from an outside location into a Revit project. In Revit Architecture - you can ______ groups - templates - detail components - entourage - materials - families of model elements and annotation element






25. A 3-dimensional shape used in a building model. You can use the Family Editor to create ______ shapes to build families of model elements.






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