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.

15. A dimension that specifies a particular size for an element or a distance between elements or points. ______ always display in the view in which they are created. You can lock ______ so that they cannot be changed without first unlocking them. You ca






16. An image to display on a face of a model element. For example - you can use ______ for signs - paintings - and billboards. In project views - a placeholder indicates the location of a ______. The full ______ displays in a rendered image. The followin






17. A Revit symbol that you can use to break a section line - break a schedule into multiple sections - or break a crop region into sections. In the following elevation view - the blue Z-shaped break controls allow you to break the crop region into secti






18. 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.






19. 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.






20. A text file that maps each Revit category or subcategory to a preconfigured layer name for the CAD software. For example - a Revit door object automatically maps to the A-DOOR layer in AutoCAD. The layer names are preconfigured in the text file - but






21. 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.






22. A building element that is usually delivered and installed on site - rather than built in place. (Also referred to as a hosted ______.) For example - windows - doors - and furniture are ______. In contrast - walls - floors - and roofs are built in pl






23. A 2D drawing of a building model that shows the layout of walls and other building components. In Revit Architecture - a ______ is also referred to as a floor plan view.






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






25. A horizontal plane that helps to define the view range in a floor plan or reflected ceiling plan. By default - the ______ is the same as the bottom clip plane. However - you can specify the ______ to show elements (such as foundation footings) below






26. A symbolic representation of a material in a drawing. (For example - sand is represented by a stipple pattern.) You can place ______ on flat and cylindrical surfaces - and you can define them for families. You can also place ______ on cut component s






27. A display color that blends the line color of an element with the background color of the view. For example - the following image shows some elements in ______ (gray) and others in black. You can specify the ______ display properties using the Visibi






28. 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).






29. To disassemble an import symbol (which represents imported geometry) into its next highest level of elements.






30. A view of a floor plan or a reflected ceiling plan for a building model.






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






32. To connect a file to a Revit project. When a ______ file is updated - the updated information is automatically made available in the Revit project. ______ avoids the need to re-import updated information into the project. In Revit Architecture - you
