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 Revit feature that allows you to specify a value for a dimension as you sketch an element in a view. You specify a start point for the element - start sketching in the desired direction - type the exact dimension desired - and press Enter. Revit Ar






18. The thickness of a line. You can specify the ______ as part of the line style for model lines - perspective lines - and annotation lines used in Revit Architecture. To define line weights - click Manage tab > Settings panel > ______.






19. A construction document. In Revit Architecture - you place project views on ______ to create a construction document set.






20. Solid geometry that turns (revolves) around an axis. For example - you can use the Revolve tool to design a dome roof - a column - or door knobs.






21. To explicitly join elements (such as walls or columns) to other modeling components. For example - you can ______ walls to floors - ceilings - and roofs. You can ______ columns to roofs - floors - ceilings - reference planes - structural framing memb

23. Categories of elements that are derived from an imported drawing. You can change the visibility and graphic display of ______ through the visibility graphics menu.






24. The part of the Revit user interface that displays views - sheets - schedules - and other representations of the building model.






25. A drafting term that refers to rounding a square corner - using a radius to define the curve.






26. 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.
