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.

16. To move the cursor over an object in the drawing area so that Revit Architecture displays the object's outline in a different weight (bold) and color (such as gray instead of black). A description of the element displays on the status bar at the bott






17. An annotation that consists of text and may include a leader line and arrow. You can add ______ to a detail view - drafting view - or a sheet.






18. A user-placed control that provides a quick way to allow or prevent changes to the position of an element. After you place a ______ - you cannot move the element until you unpin it by clicking the ______ control.






19. A list of all instances of annotations (Also referred to as an annotation schedule). Note blocks are useful for listing notes that are applied to elements in a project.






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. The point in the distance at which a camera is aimed or directed.






22. A wall that supports no additional vertical load except its own weight. ______ can be used to define and divide spaces in Revit Architecture.






23. The file format for a Revit family.






24. Stairs that consist of one solid piece of material - such as concrete. In Revit Architecture - you can specify that stairs are ______ in the stair type properties. You can also specify the material for ______.






25. A user interface mechanism that allows you to manipulate and activate a view that has been placed on a sheet. When you activate a view through a ______ - you can edit the model directly on the sheet.






26. A line of a particular pattern - weight - and color - used to indicate different effects. For example - in the following site plan - a red dashed line indicates the zoning setback. Revit Architecture predefines several ______ and uses them for defaul






27. A curved line drawn by specifying and positioning a number of points. Revit Architecture uses a mathematical polynomial function to smoothly join the segments at these points - creating the curved line.






28. (1) The distance that a wall sweep or wall reveal is offset from intersecting wall inserts. The ______ value allows you to place sweeps or reveals properly near window or door trims. You can define a default ______ for wall sweeps and wall reveals in






29. A wall that is inserted into another wall of a different type or construction. ______ are useful - for example - when you need to create a storefront on a building exterior. The following image shows a curtain wall embedded in a host wall.






30. 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






31. A wall that holds back earth (for example - at the edge of a terrace or excavation). In Revit Architecture - you can specify that a wall type functions as a retaining wall in the type properties.






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






33. A view in which the annotation symbol for the current view is visible. For example - if you use the Find ______ tool for an elevation view - Revit Architecture lists all views in which its elevation symbol is visible.






34. (1) To jump to a line or reference point in a drawing. (2) A line or reference point to which Revit Architecture will jump when you are placing a component or sketching a line. When you place a model element or sketch a line in a drawing - Revit Arch






35. A method of annotating drawings to identify building materials - describe assembly instructions - or provide special instructions or explanations. ______ help to standardize information related to the building design and can help reduce clutter in dr






36. A building component consisting of panels - curtain grids - and mullions. In Revit a ______ usually does not have a rectangular shape.
