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 schedule (list) of all drawing sheets in a project. The drawing list functions as a table of contents for the project. It is typically placed on the first sheet of a construction document set.






16. 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.






17. A design method in which different team members are responsible for designing different functional areas of the same project file.






18. A graphical icon in the Revit drawing area that you use to manipulate elements. For example - when you select a chain of walls - blue circles display. These blue circles are drag ______. You can drag such a ______ to change the shape of the walls. Ot






19. A collection of view properties (such as view scale - discipline - detail level - and visibility settings) that can be applied to a project view. For example - you might create one ______ for a structural floor plan - and another ______ for an exit f






20. A dashed line representing an edge or surface that cannot be seen in a view. For example - in the following image - 2 bolts go through the stud. The view shows the ______ of one bolt but does not show the ______ of the second bolt.






21. A list of all instances of annotations (Also referred to as an annotation schedule). Note blocks are useful for listing notes that are applied to elements in a project.






22. A web service that lets you search for - download - and integrate product and design information into your drawing. You can also publish families to the ______ website to make them available for other designers to incorporate into their designs.






23. A family of elements that is created within the context of the current project. An ______ exists only in the project and cannot be loaded into other projects. Using ______ - you can create components that are unique to a project or components that re






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






25. 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 ______.






26. 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






27. User-defined fields that you add to multiple categories of elements - sheets - or views in a project. These ______ are specific to the project and cannot be shared with other projects. For example - you can create a ______ named Approved By for views






28. A drafting term that refers to rounding a square corner - using a radius to define the curve.






29. 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






30. An alternative design for a project. ______ allow a team to develop - evaluate - and redesign building components within a single project file. You can develop ______ to adapt to changes in product scope - to review other designs - or to show alterna






31. 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






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






33. A collection of settings that you can use as a starting point for projects - families - views - and more.






34. To move a component from one host to another. For example - you can use the Rehost tool to move a window from one wall to another wall.






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






36. A 2D drawing of a building model that shows the layout of walls - rooms - and other building components. A floor ______ presents a view of the building as though you are looking down on it from above - with the roof and intervening levels removed. A






37. The process of completely disassembling an import symbol (which represents imported geometry) into Revit elements - including text - curves - lines - and filled regions.






38. An elevation tag that refers to an existing elevation or drafting view. When you add a ______ to a project - Revit Architecture does not create a new view for it. Instead - the reference elevation uses an existing elevation - allowing you to indicate






39. A graphic design for surfaces that are cut or shown in projection. You can use ______ for model patterns and drafting patterns.






40. A set of model elements that are placed together in a building design. ______ are useful when you need to create entities that represent repeating units or are common to many building projects (such as hotel rooms - apartments - or repeating floors).






41. 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 ______.






42. A table of information that you create to simplify or automate data entry in other - larger schedules. A ______ can reduce the time required to produce a larger schedule and help to generate accurate cost estimates. For example - a room schedule for






43. The orientation of a structural floor. When you place a structural floor in the plan view - Revit Architecture creates a ______ component. Rotate the ______ component to change the orientation of the structural floor.






44. 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.






45. A line used when designing families of model elements or placing elements in a building model. When you draw a ______ in a view - the line is visible in other - related views. A straight ______ provides 4 planes to sketch on. One plane is parallel to






46. To shorten selected elements to meet a specified boundary.






47. Nested family which is applied to populate buildable architectural components across a large variety of geometric divided and patterned surfaces. It can contain both 2D and 3D geometry which create intelligent and flexible parametric components.
