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.

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






20. An individual item in a building model. Revit Architecture projects use 3 types of ______: Model ______ represent the actual 3D geometry of a building. For example - walls - floors - and roofs are model ______ - Annotation ______ help to document the

22. (1) The intersection where 2 or more elements share a common face. (2) To resolve intersections between elements that share a common face. The level of detail for the view determines the detail of the ______ geometry that is shown. The following imag






23. 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-






24. A wall that consists of multiple vertical layers. Each layer can use a different material (such as concrete - insulation - and interior finish) and have a different function (such as structure - thermal layer - and substrate).

26. The point in the distance on which a camera is focusing.






27. An invisible 3-dimensional rectangular space that contains all model elements - annotation elements - and datum elements defined in a family-based element. The ______ helps define the family origin of some elements - and aids joining and cutback of s
