Autodesk Revit Test Autodesk Revit Test Families, Components & Parametric Design 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What are the three types of families in Autodesk Revit?
- System, Loadable, and In-Place (Correct answer)
- Standard, Custom, and Global
- 2D, 3D, and Hybrid
- Basic, Advanced, and Parametric
Correct answer: System, Loadable, and In-Place
Revit families are classified as System Families (walls, floors), Loadable Families (doors, furniture), and In-Place Families (unique one-off geometry).
Question 2: What file extension is used for a Revit Loadable Family?
- .rvt
- .rte
- .rft
- .rfa (Correct answer)
Correct answer: .rfa
Loadable Families are saved as .rfa files, which can be loaded into any Revit project or template.
Question 3: In the Revit Family Editor, what are 'Reference Planes' used for?
- Defining rendered material surfaces
- Providing construction lines and hosting geometry and dimensions for parametric control (Correct answer)
- Setting the family's geographic orientation
- Controlling phase visibility
Correct answer: Providing construction lines and hosting geometry and dimensions for parametric control
Reference Planes in the Family Editor serve as construction lines that host dimensions and constrain geometry to enable parametric behavior.
Question 4: What is a 'Type Parameter' in a Revit family?
- A parameter that changes per instance placed in the model
- A parameter that is shared across all instances of the same family type (Correct answer)
- A parameter that controls rendering quality
- A parameter that defines cloud collaboration access
Correct answer: A parameter that is shared across all instances of the same family type
Type Parameters are shared by all instances of the same family type, so changing the value affects every placed instance of that type simultaneously.
Question 5: What is an 'Instance Parameter' in a Revit family?
- A parameter that applies to all types in a family
- A parameter that can be set individually for each placed instance (Correct answer)
- A parameter that controls sheet numbering
- A parameter inherited from the project template
Correct answer: A parameter that can be set individually for each placed instance
Instance Parameters can be set independently on each individual element placed in the model, allowing variation between identical type placements.
Question 6: Which Revit family category would you use for a custom furniture piece?
- Generic Models
- Furniture (Correct answer)
- Specialty Equipment
- Casework
Correct answer: Furniture
The Furniture category is specifically designed for desks, chairs, tables, and other furniture items in a Revit project.
