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.

14. Available in the conceptual design environment - ______ mode is a transparent view that displays the underlying geometric skeleton of a form.






15. A text file that maps each Revit category or subcategory to a preconfigured layer name for the CAD software. For example - a Revit door object automatically maps to the A-DOOR layer in AutoCAD. The layer names are preconfigured in the text file - but






16. 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.






17. A 3-dimensional shape that has measurable volume. Non-volumetric geometry refers to a 2-dimensional shape.






18. An Autodesk product. ______ is a building design and documentation system that uses building information modeling to coordinate changes across all aspects of an architecture project.






19. An element in a building model that represents actual 3D geometry. For example - walls - windows - doors - and roofs are ______. For example - the following image shows only ______. It does not include annotation elements (such as dimensions or text






20. 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






21. A schedule (list) of all drawing sheets in a project. The drawing list functions as a table of contents for the project. It is typically placed on the first sheet of a construction document set.






22. The characteristic of being visible in one project view only.






23. A divided surface on which geometric shapes have been applied. These patterns become part of the surface and (depending on their shape) will require a specific number of grid cells when applied.






24. A section tag that refers to an existing section view. When you create a ______ - Revit Architecture does not create a new view in the project. Instead - the ______ uses an existing section - allowing you to indicate different areas that have identic






25. Open Database Connectivity. ______ is a general export tool that works in conjunction with many software drivers. You can export information about model elements in a Revit project to an ______ database.






26. 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.






27. A line that indicates the middle of a dimension or model element (such as a column or a wall). In Revit Architecture - you can use an element's ______ to measure - dimension - align - resize - specify constraints - and perform other functions in a bu






28. To shorten selected elements to meet a specified boundary.






29. A web service that lets you search for - download - and integrate product and design information into your drawing. You can also publish families to the ______ website to make them available for other designers to incorporate into their designs.






30. Topographical surface. A graphic representation of the terrain of a building site or plot. The ______ may include contour lines to represent elevations.






31. A construction document that has been reviewed and revised or commented on (marked up). Typically - the reviewer is the project designer - a client - or another building professional. When you export construction documents as DWF files - the files ca






32. A user interface mechanism that you use to select elements within a defined area by dragging the cursor around them. To create a ______ - place the cursor near the elements to select - click and hold the left mouse button - and drag the cursor diagon






33. A 3D view that shows a building model in which all components are the same size - regardless of the camera's distance from them.






34. A sketched line that connects to itself - creating a 2-dimensional shape. A ______ cannot contain coincident or intersecting segments. In Revit Architecture - you sketch ______ to create floors - ceilings - plan regions - openings in walls and roofs






35. 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.






36. A template for a sheet. A ______ generally includes information about the company - address - date of the project - and revisions.






37. Parameters or settings that control the appearance or behavior of elements in a project. ______ are the combination of instance properties and type properties. To view or change ______ - select the element in the drawing area - click Modify <element>






38. A copy of the project file that resides on the computer system of the team member who is working on the file. When worksharing is used to distribute project work among team members - each member uses a ______ to work on his or her workset (functional






39. Representations of AutoCAD objects. Revit Architecture supports ______ from AutoCAD files. Unlike AutoCAD objects - ______ have no intelligence.






40. A design method in which different team members are responsible for designing different functional areas of the same project file.






41. A user interface mechanism that controls the visibility of datum planes (levels - reference lines - and grids) in views. When you add grids - levels - and reference lines to a project - they may display in more views than desired. For example - when






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






43. 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.






44. The direction toward the North Pole. Drafting conventions dictate that Project North is the top of the view. You may want to orient a view to ______ when producing solar studies (to create accurate sunlight and shadow patterns for the project) or ren






45. To restrict the movement of an element using the _____ tool. When you ______ an element - you cannot move it by dragging or using the Move tool. However - changes in other attached elements may result in movement of the ______ element.






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






47. To change the size of a model element. For example - in Revit Architecture you can ______ a wall or a foundation to adjust to changing specifications.






48. A method of displaying model elements in views. For example - you can choose to display a model using wireframe - hidden lines - shading - or shading with edges. You can specify the ______ for a view using the View Control Bar at the bottom of the Re






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