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.

17. A user interface mechanism that crops the model in a 3D view. Elements in the building model that are outside the ______do not display in the view or in an exported view.






18. Text used in a building model - such as for signage. You can add ______ in a project view and in the Family Editor for families that can be represented in 3D - such as walls - doors - windows - and furniture. An instance of ______ is a model element.






19. A model graphics style in which Revit Architecture displays the image of the model with all edges and lines drawn - but no surfaces.






20. In an animation - a single image (for example - in a walkthrough animation or a solar study). In a building - a rigid structure built into a wall to hold a door - window - or other component. In Revit Architecture - you can specify the material and f






21. 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-






22. A model element that exists in 3D space and is visible in all views of a Revit project. You can use ______ to represent 3D geometry in a building design - such as cords or cables that secure a tarp. You can sketch straight - curved - arc - circular -






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






24. Pre-built components - such as cabinets and cupboards for a kitchen or bathroom. Revit Architecture provides family types for ______.






25. A line that provides information but is not intended to represent actual geometry in an element. For example - when creating a door family - you might sketch ______ in an elevation view to represent a door swing. ______ are visible parallel to the vi






26. A graphic style applied to an element when a view displays the element - so that you are seeing a representation of its exterior surface. For the ______ of an element - you can specify the line weight - color - and fill pattern.






27. A graphical icon in the Revit drawing area that you use to manipulate elements. For example - when you select a chain of walls - blue circles display. These blue circles are drag ______. You can drag such a ______ to change the shape of the walls. Ot

31. Passing through or lying on the same straight line. Sketching a line that is ______ with an existing wall






32. A construction document that has been reviewed and revised or commented on (marked up). Typically - the reviewer is the project designer - a client - or another building professional. When you export construction documents as DWF files - the files ca
