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.

21. A defined area that obscures elements in a view. ______ are useful when you are creating a model family from an imported 2D DWG file - and you need the model element to obscure other elements when placed in a view. You can also use them to hide parts






22. 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.






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

28. A collection of settings that you can use as a starting point for projects - families - views - and more.






29. An elevation tag that refers to an existing elevation or drafting view. When you add a ______ to a project - Revit Architecture does not create a new view for it. Instead - the reference elevation uses an existing elevation - allowing you to indicate






30. 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.
