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.

17. 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.






18. A family of geometry that does not fit into any of the other - pre-defined categories (such as columns - roofs - and floors). In a Revit project - an instance of a ______ is a model element. You can create a ______ as a loadable family - or as an in-






19. A list of model elements that belong to a particular family type but that differ in size or other characteristics. Using ______ - you can load only the size you need - rather than loading the entire family type. For example - suppose that you want to






20. A list of the subcomponents or materials of any Revit family. ______ have all the functionality and characteristics of other schedule views - but they allow you to show more detail about the assembly of a component. Any material that is applied to a






21. For a subcomponent of a family - a property that defines its display (the line weight - line color - and line pattern). For example - you can assign one ______ to the wood trim of a window and another ______ to the glass.






22. A graphical icon in the Revit drawing area that you ______ to change the shape or size of an element in the building model. When you select an element - Revit Architecture displays it's ______ as blue circles or triangles.






23. A horizontal height at which certain elements in the view are shown in cross-section.






24. A group of view-specific elements that are associated with a model group. For example - an ______ may be comprised of door tags and window tags.

29. The characteristic of being visible in one project view only.






30. A section tag that refers to an existing section view. When you create a ______ - Revit Architecture does not create a new view in the project. Instead - the ______ uses an existing section - allowing you to indicate different areas that have identic






31. The ______ defines the origin (0 -0 -0) of the project coordinate system. It also can be used to position a building on a site and for locating the design elements of a building during construction.
