  • 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.

15. Rich Photorealistic Content. The file type for ArchVision realpeople and other objects - which can be loaded into Revit Architecture as an entourage family - for use in rendered images.

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






19. An annotation that indicates the distance between 2 points or elements in a building model. In Revit Architecture - you can change the points or elements that are used as references for a ______. You can also control the gap between the ______ and th






20. A representation of a building model that simulates a person walking through the model along a defined path. The following ______ view shows the ______ path in red.






21. The file type for a Revit project template.






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






23. An annotation that consists of text and may include a leader line and arrow. You can add ______ to a detail view - drafting view - or a sheet.






24. A user interface mechanism that crops the model in a 3D view. Elements in the building model that are outside the ______do not display in the view or in an exported view.






25. A building component consisting of panels - curtain grids - and mullions. In Revit a ______ usually does not have a rectangular shape.






26. User-defined fields that you add to families or projects and then share with other families and projects. They are stored in a file independently of a family file or Revit project; this allows you to access the file from different families or project






27. Settings that control the appearance or behavior of an individual element in a project. The ______ and type parameters of an element combine to establish its element properties. ______ are also called instance properties.






28. (1) For elements that can slope (including roofs - ramps - floors - and ceilings) - the upper end of the slope. For example - in the following illustration - the ______ is the upper end of the sloped floor. (2) In Revit Architecture - the symbol that
