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.

19. A 3D shape consisting of multiple polygons that are joined (meshed) together. For example - a ______ cube consists of 6 square surfaces that are joined together to form the cube shape. This is sometimes referred to as face-based geometry.






20. An open file format that is supported by many CAD applications. A ______ file is a text file that describes a 2D drawing. The text is not encoded or compressed - so ______ files are generally large. Revit Architecture can import and export DXF files.






21. An exterior wall consisting of panels connected by joints or mullions. The panels can be made of glass - brick - or other materials.






22. A visualization tool that you use to create a 3D view of a building model. When you place a camera in a 2D view - you can control the target point - the ______ level - and the focal point of the ______. The following views show a camera positioned in






23. The elevation of a selected point. Use spot elevation dimensions to determine a point of elevation for ramps - roads - toposurfaces - and stair landings.






24. 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






25. An open schema created to help building designers gather information about the energy consumption characteristics of building projects. To perform energy analysis for a building model - you can export a Revit project to ______. Using a third-party ap






26. A vertical or horizontal plane that defines a boundary for a view. You can use top - bottom - left - and right ______ to define a view. In elevation and section views - you can also use a far ______ to define the depth of the view. Green dotted lines






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