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.

13. A family of geometry that does not fit into any of the other - pre-defined categories (such as columns - roofs - and floors). In a Revit project - an instance of a ______ is a model element. You can create a ______ as a loadable family - or as an in-






14. A table that provides descriptions or information about symbols used in drawings. In Revit Architecture - you can create a ______ and include it on multiple sheets.






15. Controlled by parameters. In a Revit project - parameters define the relationships between elements of the building model. These relationships are created automatically by Revit Architecture and by you as you create the design. As you work in drawing






16. A combination (blending) of 2 shapes to create a 3D shape. You can create ______ using solid geometry and void geometry. For example - the 2D shapes below are ______ to create the solid extrusion that follows.






17. (1) A point in the current view that you can use for positioning or dimensioning a model element. When you move the cursor near a ______ - Revit Architecture displays a temporary dimension between the element being placed and the ______. To display d






18. An Autodesk feature that allows you to drag and drop content from a web page into a Revit session. Using ______ - designers and developers have the power to create web pages that can easily be dragged and dropped into Autodesk design products that ar






19. In Revit Architecture - a vertical or horizontal strip between panels of a curtain wall or curtain system.






20. A set of spatial relationships in a building. For example - in an office building - you may want to distinguish between common space (such as lobbies - hallways - rest rooms - and kitchens) - office space - and storage. In an apartment building - you






21. A group of view-specific elements - such as text and filled regions.






22. Part of the Revit interface that shows a logical hierarchy for all views - schedules - sheets - families - groups - and linked Revit models in the current project.






23. A setting that determines the appearance or behavior of an element - type - or view. Also called a parameter.






24. A copy of the project file that resides on the computer system of the team member who is working on the file. When worksharing is used to distribute project work among team members - each member uses a ______ to work on his or her workset (functional






25. 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.






26. The amount of fill (material) required to prepare a site for construction. For example - in the following drawing - the red area indicates the cut volume - and the blue area indicates the ______ required to level the site for a building.






27. A collection of settings that you can use as a starting point for projects - families - views - and more.






28. A column that supports a vertical load in addition to its own weight.






29. (1) For elements that can slope (including roofs - ramps - floors - and ceilings) - the upper end of the slope. For example - in the following illustration - the ______ is the upper end of the sloped floor. (2) In Revit Architecture - the symbol that
