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.

7. Coordinate plotting grids for non-planar surfaces. Plotting locations in a 3D space is based on an XYZ coordinate system - while 2D Space is based on an XY system. Since surfaces are not necessarily planar - the UVW coordinate system is used to plot

13. A visualization tool that you use to create a 3D view of a building model. When you place a camera in a 2D view - you can control the target point - the ______ level - and the focal point of the ______. The following views show a camera positioned in






14. A Revit file that contains all information about a building design.






15. A finite horizontal plane that acts as a reference for level-hosted elements - such as roofs - floors - and ceilings. In Revit Architecture - you define a ______ for each vertical height or story within a building - or other needed reference of the b






16. Vegetation used to create a landscape around a building design. Revit Architecture provides a library of ______ families. You can also create or download additional plants.






17. To reverse the position of a selected model element - using a line as the ______ axis. For example - if you ______ a wall on a reference plane - the wall flips opposite the original wall. You can pick the ______ axis or draw a temporary axis. Use the






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






19. A horizontal plane that represents ground level in a building model. In Revit Architecture - you can specify the ground plane when creating a solar study for 2D and 3D views.






20. In Revit Architecture - the adjacent materials of a compound structure - such as a wall. You can define the ______ in a compound structure.






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






22. The graphic shape used to represent the end of a dimension - such as an arrow or a slash.






23. A 2-dimensional plane used when designing families of model elements or placing elements in a building model.






24. The North/South and East/West coordinates of an individual point with respect to the shared coordinate system for a group of linked Revit projects.






25. A list of keynote numbers and the corresponding keynote text. If you choose to annotate model elements using keynote numbers only - you can use a ______ to provide descriptive text for each keynote number. By using a keynote legend - you avoid clutte






26. Settings that control the appearance or behavior of all elements of a particular family type. ______ are also called type properties. The instance parameters and ______ of an element combine to establish its element properties.






27. A symbolic representation of a material in a drawing. (For example - sand is represented by a stipple pattern.) You can place ______ on flat and cylindrical surfaces - and you can define them for families. You can also place ______ on cut component s






28. A 3-dimensional shape that results from removing shapes from solid geometry.






29. An Autodesk product. ______ integrates a physical model for layout - coordination - and documentation with an independently editable analytical model for building design and analysis. Using a single building information model and dynamic linking to t






30. A combination (blending) of 2 shapes to create a 3D shape. You can create ______ using solid geometry and void geometry. For example - the 2D shapes below are ______ to create the solid extrusion that follows.






31. Nested family which is applied to populate buildable architectural components across a large variety of geometric divided and patterned surfaces. It can contain both 2D and 3D geometry which create intelligent and flexible parametric components.






32. A Revit tool that automates the creation of stairs based on a specified minimum tread depth and maximum riser height.






33. To move a component from one host to another. For example - you can use the Rehost tool to move a window from one wall to another wall.






34. The size of a datum plane (a plane for a level - grid - or reference line). Datum planes are not visible in all views. If the datum does not intersect a view plane - it will not be visible in that view. You can resize datum planes so that they are vi






35. Part of the Revit interface that displays information about what is highlighted or selected - or hints on what to do next. The ______ is located in the lower left corner of the Revit window.
