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.

13. A model element - annotation element - datum element - or imported element in a project.






14. A graphic representation of an annotation element or other object. ______ are sometimes referred to as tags. Revit Architecture uses ______ for annotations - moment frames - cantilever connections - and other elements.






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






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






17. An intersection of 2 or more walls. In Revit Architecture - you can specify the type of join between walls.






18. A line that connects an annotation to an element or part of the building model in a view. In Revit Architecture - you can control the line weight - style - and color of the ______ - as well as its position - shape - and arrowhead.






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






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






21. Comments or revision instructions from someone who reviewed a building design. When you publish construction documents as DWF files - the files can be ______ up electronically using a program such as Autodesk Design Review. Then the ______ can be lin






22. A flat surface that is designed to be occupied by buildings and is prepared by grading - excavating - filling - or a combination of these. In Revit Architecture - you can add a ______ to a toposurface - and then modify the structure and depth of the

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 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.






26. A set of connected straight line segments. Polylines typically define open loops.






27. A display color that blends the line color of an element with the background color of the view. For example - the following image shows some elements in ______ (gray) and others in black. You can specify the ______ display properties using the Visibi
