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.

20. A 3D view that shows a building model in which all components are the same size - regardless of the camera's distance from them.






21. A line that you draw in a view to define areas that are used for different purposes - when a wall between the rooms is not desired. ______ are visible in plan views - 3D views - and perspective views. For example - the following floor plan uses room






22. A combination (blending) of 2 shapes to create a 3D shape. You can create ______ using solid geometry and void geometry. For example - the 2D shapes below are ______ to create the solid extrusion that follows.






23. A user interface mechanism that defines the boundaries of a view. Elements in the building model that are outside the ______ do not display in the view or on a sheet on which the view is placed. In the following floor plan view - the inner - solid re






24. A divided surface on which geometric shapes have been applied. These patterns become part of the surface and (depending on their shape) will require a specific number of grid cells when applied.






25. A set of spatial relationships in a building. For example - in an office building - you may want to distinguish between common space (such as lobbies - hallways - rest rooms - and kitchens) - office space - and storage. In an apartment building - you






26. 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 ______.






27. A finite horizontal plane that acts as a reference for level-hosted elements - such as roofs - floors - and ceilings. In Revit Architecture - you define a ______ for each vertical height or story within a building - or other needed reference of the b






28. A view in which the annotation symbol for the current view is visible. For example - if you use the Find ______ tool for an elevation view - Revit Architecture lists all views in which its elevation symbol is visible.






29. Usable space that is defined by walls or boundary lines or both. In Revit Architecture - you can perform an area analysis to define spatial relationships in a building model.






30. An element in a building model that represents actual 3D geometry. For example - walls - windows - doors - and roofs are ______. For example - the following image shows only ______. It does not include annotation elements (such as dimensions or text






31. The parent view of a callout or section; that is - the view from which a callout or section originates. The referencing sheet is the sheet on which the ______ displays. The referencing detail corresponds to the detail number assigned to a callout or






32. An arrangement of elements in a building model. For example - in a large office - you can create an ______ of desks and chairs. In a structural design - you can create an ______ of beams or columns. You can create a linear ______ - in which the eleme






33. A line of a particular pattern - weight - and color - used to indicate different effects. For example - in the following site plan - a red dashed line indicates the zoning setback. Revit Architecture predefines several ______ and uses them for defaul






34. A 3D view of a building model - in which components that are further away appear smaller than those that are closer. In Revit Architecture - you create a ______ by placing a camera in a 3D view.






35. A sketch line that indicates where to split a view for a dependent view - as shown.






36. A symbol indicating a dependent view to which the primary view is linked.
