Autodesk Revit Skill Test

When you create a project in Autodesk Revit software, do you work in 3D or 2D?. You work in 2D for plan and section views and in 3D for isometric views. You work in 3D almost all the time, even when you are using what looks like a flat/ 2D view. It depends on how you toggle the 2D/3D control. You work in 2D in plan views and in 3D in non-plan views.

What is the purpose of the project browser?. It is the interface for managing all of the files that are required to create the complete architectural model of the building. It manages multiple Autodesk Revit projects as an alternative to using Windows Explorer. It is used to access and manage the views of the project. It enables you to browse through the building project, similar to a walk-through.

Which part(s) of the interface changes according to the command you are using? (select all that apply). Option Bar. View Control Bar. Ribbon. Properties Palette.

When you start a new project, how do you specify the starting information contained in the new file?. Transfer from existing Project. Select the right template for the project. The Autodesk Revit software automatically extracts the correct information from imported or linked files.

What is the primary difference between a view made using the Default 3D View and a view made using the Camera?. Default 3D View is isometric and a Camera view is perspective. Default 3D View is for exterior views and Camera is for interior. Default 3D View creates a static image and a Camera view is live and always updated. Default 3D View is used for the overall building and a Camera view is used for looking in tight spaces.
