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.

16. A file format supported by MicroStation of Bentley Systems - Inc. Revit Architecture can import and export ______ files.






17. A wall that consists of multiple vertical layers. Each layer can use a different material (such as concrete - insulation - and interior finish) and have a different function (such as structure - thermal layer - and substrate).






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






19. 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.






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






21. 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






22. A Revit function for workshared projects. ______ allows you to edit an element in a workset that you do not own. If another team member is currently editing the workset - that team member is the owner of the workset and you must place a request to bo






23. A wall that holds back earth (for example - at the edge of a terrace or excavation). In Revit Architecture - you can specify that a wall type functions as a retaining wall in the type properties.






24. A line that provides information but is not intended to represent actual geometry in an element. For example - when creating a door family - you might sketch ______ in an elevation view to represent a door swing. ______ are visible parallel to the vi






25. Controlled by parameters. In a Revit project - parameters define the relationships between elements of the building model. These relationships are created automatically by Revit Architecture and by you as you create the design. As you work in drawing






26. 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






27. Non-uniform rational B-spline. A mathematical model commonly used in computer graphics for representing and generating curves and surfaces. In Revit Architecture - you can create roofs and curtain systems on ______.






28. A model element that defines a boundary of a room. For example - walls - partitions - floors - ceilings - and roofs are room-bounding elements. Revit Architecture uses room-bounding elements when calculating the area or volume of a room. You can desi






29. In a 3D context - ______ moves the camera left and right. In a 2D context - ______ scrolls the view. If you are using ______ with an active view on a sheet - ______ scrolls the sheet view - not the active view on the sheet.






30. An element that you hide in a particular view.






31. 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.






32. A collection of view properties (such as view scale - discipline - detail level - and visibility settings) that can be applied to a project view. For example - you might create one ______ for a structural floor plan - and another ______ for an exit f

34. The top of the view in the drawing area. When producing solar studies or rendered images - change the view orientation from ______ to True North to create accurate sunlight and shadow patterns for the project.






35. The view on which one or more dependent views are based. The dependent views remain synchronous with the ______and other dependent views - so that when view-specific changes (such as view scale and annotations) are made in one view - they are reflect

42. A Revit feature that allows you to specify a value for a dimension as you sketch an element in a view. You specify a start point for the element - start sketching in the desired direction - type the exact dimension desired - and press Enter. Revit Ar






43. 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.






44. Settings that control the appearance or behavior of all elements of a particular family type. ______ are also called type properties. The instance parameters and ______ of an element combine to establish its element properties.
