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.

21. 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.






22. A detailed drawing of part of a view. In Revit Architecture - the ______ appears in a separate view. In the ______ - you can add annotations and detail - which will not display in the parent view. In the parent view - the ______ area is marked with a






23. The amount of fill (material) required to prepare a site for construction. For example - in the following drawing - the red area indicates the cut volume - and the blue area indicates the ______ required to level the site for a building.






24. A class of elements in a category. A ______ groups elements with a common set of parameters (properties) - identical use - and similar graphical representation. Different elements in a ______ may have different values for some or all properties - but






25. Part of the Revit interface that shows a logical hierarchy for all views - schedules - sheets - families - groups - and linked Revit models in the current project.






26. A graphical icon in the Revit drawing area that you can use to reverse the position or orientation of an element in the drawing area. For example - when you click the ______for a compound wall - the wall flips over - so its layers reverse.
