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.

9. 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.

14. A fixed starting point - or the point in a coordinate system where the axes intersect. In Revit Architecture - you use an ______ for many functions - such as positioning a linked project - creating a custom fill pattern - positioning a group - resizi






15. Arranged along a radius or arc. In Revit Architecture - when you create a ______ array - the elements in the array are arranged along a curve.






16. A schedule (list) of all views in a project. The schedule includes the view parameters that you specify. You can use a ______ to manage the views in a project.






17. The amount of fill (material) required to prepare a site for construction. For example - in the following drawing - the red area indicates the cut volume - and the blue area indicates the ______ required to level the site for a building.






18. A parameter that defines a relationship between elements in a building design. For example - you can specify the top ______ for a wall as Level 2. If Level 2 moves upward - the height of the wall increases to maintain the relationship.






19. A column that adds architectural interest to a building. An ______ can be used to model box-outs around structural columns and for decorative applications.






20. An elevation view that shows the structural framing of a building model. You can work in a ______ when adding vertical bracing to the model - or for any task that requires quick work plane alignment to a grid or to a named reference plane.






21. A vertical plane in a wall that is used for dimensioning. You create a wall by sketching the ______ of the wall in a plan view or a 3D view. You specify what to use for the ______ in the element properties of the wall: the wall centerline - core cent






22. The beginning of a sketched line.






23. 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.






24. A tabular display of information. In Revit Architecture - a ______ is extracted from the properties of elements in a project. It is displayed in a ______ view. Using Revit Architecture - you can create many types of ______ - including quantities - ma






25. A defined set of elements that can be placed as a unit in a building design. ______ elements is useful when you need to create entities that represent repeating units or are common to many building projects (for example - hotel rooms - apartments - o






26. 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.






27. A family that consists of instances of other families (subcomponents). The subcomponents can belong to the same category (for example - various window types) or different categories (for example - an exterior door and two lighting fixtures). You crea
