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.

18. A section tag that refers to an existing section view. When you create a ______ - Revit Architecture does not create a new view in the project. Instead - the ______ uses an existing section - allowing you to indicate different areas that have identic






19. Settings that control the appearance or behavior of a project view. To see or change ______ - right-click a blank area of the view in the drawing area - and click ______. Or right-click a view name in the Project Browser - and click Properties.






20. To reverse the position of a selected model element - using a line as the ______ axis. For example - if you ______ a wall on a reference plane - the wall flips opposite the original wall. You can pick the ______ axis or draw a temporary axis. Use the






21. The gross building area plan at ground level that is exported to an ADSK file when exporting a building site to a civil engineering application - such as AutoCAD® Civil 3D®.






22. 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.






23. 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.






24. 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.






25. A face or surface of a form that has been divided into UV grids. The grids act as a guide in patterning the surface. Manipulating the ______ also manipulates the parametrically dependent patterns and component families.






26. A sketch line that indicates where to split a view for a dependent view - as shown.






27. 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
