  • 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 horizontal or vertical projection from a wall - often decorative in nature. Examples of ______ include baseboards and crown molding.






17. A graphic design that is applied to the surface of a model element. ______ represent the actual appearance of an element - such as brick coursing or ceramic tile on a wall. They are fixed with respect to the model and scale with the model.






18. An Autodesk product. ______ optimizes mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) systems engineering through data-driven system sizing and design. It provides a building information modeling design and documentation solution for MEP engineering.






19. The calculated adjustment in beam geometry that ensures beam ends meet without overlaying one another at a join. This is the visible gap seen in a steel beam connection within the Revit project.






20. The process of disassembling an import symbol (which represents imported geometry) into its next highest level of elements: nested import symbols. A ______ yields more import symbols - which - in turn - can be exploded into elements or other import s






21. The orientation of a structural floor. When you place a structural floor in the plan view - Revit Architecture creates a ______ component. Rotate the ______ component to change the orientation of the structural floor.






22. A collection of predefined project resources that are available on the Internet. For example - you can access ______ of templates - detail components - entourage - and families of model elements and annotation elements.






23. 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






24. A set of characteristics that define the line weight - line color - line pattern - and material for a category of model elements - annotation elements - or imported objects in a project.






25. An intersection of 2 or more walls. In Revit Architecture - you can specify the type of join between walls.






26. A project view or imported file that you use to help position elements in the current view. For example - when you use a section view as an ______ to a detail view - model elements in the detail view display in halftone or a different line weight and






27. A drawing that shows the ceiling in a building design. Also called an RCP view. When you add a level to a building model - Revit Architecture automatically creates an ______ for it.






28. A detailed drawing of part of a view. In Revit Architecture - the ______ appears in a separate view. In the ______ - you can add annotations and detail - which will not display in the parent view. In the parent view - the ______ area is marked with a
