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.

16. A graphic design that is applied to the surface of a model element. ______ represent the actual appearance of an element - such as brick coursing or ceramic tile on a wall. They are fixed with respect to the model and scale with the model.






17. An annotation that indicates the distance between 2 points or elements in a building model. In Revit Architecture - you can change the points or elements that are used as references for a ______. You can also control the gap between the ______ and th






18. The order in which elements display in a view - as if layered on a flat surface. You can move an element backward or forward in the ______ - or bring it to the front or back of a stack of elements.






19. A Revit family that can be used as a building block for creating families. Revit Architecture provides ______ for floors - walls - ceilings - roofs - drawing sheets - viewports - and other elements. You cannot delete ______.






20. 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






21. 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






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






23. A 2-dimensional plane used when designing families of model elements or placing elements in a building model.






24. The part of the Revit user interface that displays views - sheets - schedules - and other representations of the building model.






25. A visualization tool that you use to create a 3D view of a building model. When you place a camera in a 2D view - you can control the target point - the ______ level - and the focal point of the ______. The following views show a camera positioned in






26. (1) To draw a line or shape. Revit Architecture provides several tools and techniques for ______. (2) A drawing of a 2D shape. The following ______ contains an open loop (the roof) and a closed loop (the walls - floor - and ceiling).






27. A mechanism for determining which elements are selected (for modification or manipulation) based on their family types or element parameters.






28. A wall that supports no additional vertical load except its own weight. ______ can be used to define and divide spaces in Revit Architecture.






29. 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.






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