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.

7. To limit the boundaries of a view - omitting parts of the building model from the view.






8. A graphic style applied to an element when a view (such as a section view) cuts through the element - so that you are seeing a representation of its interior surface. For the ______ of an element - you can specify the line weight - color - and patter






9. Categories of elements that are derived from an imported drawing. You can change the visibility and graphic display of ______ through the visibility graphics menu.

15. Part of a plan view that has a different view range from the overall view. ______ are useful for split level plans or for displaying inserts above or below the cut plane.






16. Part of the Revit interface that displays information about what is highlighted or selected - or hints on what to do next. The ______ is located in the lower left corner of the Revit window.






17. A method of annotating drawings to identify building materials - describe assembly instructions - or provide special instructions or explanations. ______ help to standardize information related to the building design and can help reduce clutter in dr






18. The process of disassembling an import symbol (which represents imported geometry) into its next highest level of elements: nested import symbols. A ______ yields more import symbols - which - in turn - can be exploded into elements or other import s






19. A 3-dimensional shape that results from removing shapes from solid geometry.






20. A setting that determines the appearance or behavior of an element - type - or view. Also called a parameter.






21. A flat surface that is designed to be occupied by buildings and is prepared by grading - excavating - filling - or a combination of these. In Revit Architecture - you can add a ______ to a toposurface - and then modify the structure and depth of the






22. A collection of predefined project resources that are available on the Internet. For example - you can access ______ of templates - detail components - entourage - and families of model elements and annotation elements.






23. A model graphics style in which Revit Architecture hides the lines of elements that are obscured by other surfaces.






24. 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






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






26. A dimension that Revit Architecture displays as you draw or place elements in a view. ______ can help you to position an element in the desired location - or to draw a line to the desired length or angle. When you finish drawing or placing an element






27. An Autodesk product. ______ optimizes mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) systems engineering through data-driven system sizing and design. It provides a building information modeling design and documentation solution for MEP engineering.






28. A family that consists of instances of other families (subcomponents). The subcomponents can belong to the same category (for example - various window types) or different categories (for example - an exterior door and two lighting fixtures). You crea






29. To explicitly join elements (such as walls or columns) to other modeling components. For example - you can ______ walls to floors - ceilings - and roofs. You can ______ columns to roofs - floors - ceilings - reference planes - structural framing memb






30. A construction document. In Revit Architecture - you place project views on ______ to create a construction document set.






31. The point in the distance at which a camera is aimed or directed.






32. A model element that can exist in a building model only if sponsored by another (host) element. Doors - windows - model lines - and components (such as furniture) are ______.






33. 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.






34. A graphic style applied to an element when a view displays the element - so that you are seeing a representation of its exterior surface. For the ______ of an element - you can specify the line weight - color - and fill pattern.






35. 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.






36. A setting that determines the appearance or behavior of an element - type - or view. Also called a property.






37. A shape (such as a circle or cloud) that contains identification text for a grid - level - view title - callout - or annotation.






38. A set of characteristics that define the line weight - line color - line pattern - and material for a category of model elements - annotation elements - or imported objects in a project.






39. A photorealistic image of a building model used to evaluate the impact of natural light and shadows on the buildings and site.






40. 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






41. A Revit element that contains all objects (such as blocks and xrefs) from an imported drawing. When you move the cursor over the imported objects - Revit Architecture shows information about the ______. You can explode an ______ to convert it into in






42. The North/South and East/West coordinates of an individual point with respect to the shared coordinate system for a group of linked Revit projects.






43. 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.






44. 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






45. A view whose plane is at a right angle to the plane of another view. The following image illustrates the ______ planes on which a floor plan and an elevation are based.






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






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






48. A Revit setting that determines the amount of geometry displayed in a view. ______ settings include coarse - medium - and fine - where coarse shows the least detail and fine shows the most detail. The following image illustrates the 3 ______ for a de






49. 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.






50. 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.
