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.

18. To restrict the movement of an element using the _____ tool. When you ______ an element - you cannot move it by dragging or using the Move tool. However - changes in other attached elements may result in movement of the ______ element.






19. A functional area (such as structural - mechanical - electrical - or architectural) - or an area of expertise (such as architecture - structural engineering - or construction). In a Revit project - you can assign ______ to categories and to views. Yo






20. 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






21. A file format supported by MicroStation of Bentley Systems - Inc. Revit Architecture can import and export ______ files.

25. In a 3D context - ______ moves the camera left and right. In a 2D context - ______ scrolls the view. If you are using ______ with an active view on a sheet - ______ scrolls the sheet view - not the active view on the sheet.






26. The process of completely disassembling an import symbol (which represents imported geometry) into Revit elements - including text - curves - lines - and filled regions.






27. A user interface mechanism that you drag to change the shape of an element in the building model. A ______ appears in the selection color.
