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.

22. Solid geometry that turns (revolves) around an axis. For example - you can use the Revolve tool to design a dome roof - a column - or door knobs.






23. To display only a certain element or type of element - so that you can work with it in a particular view without being distracted by other elements in the design.






24. The structural part of a compound wall or other host element. When you use Revit Architecture to design a compound wall - you specify the layers and materials that compose the ______ of the wall - as well as the interior and exterior layers of the wa






25. The file format for projects created using Google® SketchUp - a general purpose modeling and visualization tool. You can import ______ files into a Revit project.






26. A user interface mechanism that defines the slope of a roof - floor - or ceiling plane - using a line in the direction of the slope. Use a ______ when you know the height at the top and bottom of the object's plane rather than the slope. For example






27. A drawing that shows the ceiling in a building design. Also called an RCP view. When you add a level to a building model - Revit Architecture automatically creates an ______ for it.






28. A model graphics style in which Revit Architecture displays the image of the model with all edges and lines drawn - but no surfaces.






29. In Revit Architecture - a vertical or horizontal strip between panels of a curtain wall or curtain system.
