1. Filtering a Wall Schedule by Type
Question:
An architectural designer is creating a wall schedule. The designer only wants to show
walls of the Brick on Metal Stud type. How should this be accomplished?
Options:
• Sort the schedule by wall Type and deselect Itemize every instance.
• Set the Appearance of the schedule to show the Brick on Metal Stud type.
• Use conditional formatting based on wall Type equals Brick on Metal Stud.
• Filter the schedule by wall Type equals Brick on Metal Stud. ✅
Explanation:
To display only specific wall types in a schedule:
• Filters in the Schedule Properties allow restricting data based on criteria (e.g.,
"Type = Brick on Metal Stud").
• Sorting or appearance changes won’t hide other wall types.
• Conditional formatting alters visual presentation (e.g., color) but doesn’t filter
data.
2. Room Bounding in Linked Models
,Question:
An architectural designer has a linked architectural model and wants to place rooms
inside the link. Revit doesn’t recognize elements as room bounding. What should be
done?
Options:
• Enable Room Bounding in the Properties palette for each wall in the link.
• Open the link and change the Room Area Computation setting to "At Wall
Finish."
• Use the Room Separator tool with the Pick Lines option.
• Select the linked model, click Edit Type, and enable Room Bounding. ✅
Explanation:
• Linked models must have Room Bounding enabled in their Type Properties to
define room boundaries in the host model.
• Room Separators are manual overrides, not a solution for linked model issues.
3. Selecting a Linked Revit Model
Question:
An architectural designer is working with a linked Revit model but cannot select the link.
What is causing this?
Options:
• The Select Links option is disabled. ✅
• A view template is assigned to the view.
• The model is in a closed workset.
• Another user is borrowing the link.
, Explanation:
• The Select Links toggle (under Modify > Select) controls whether linked models
can be selected.
• Worksets or borrowing affect editing, not selection.
4. Leader Arrowhead Control for Text Notes
Question:
Where is the leader arrowhead controlled for a text note?
Options:
• Additional Settings dialog
• Arrowhead Type Properties
• Text Type Properties ✅
• Text Instance Properties
Explanation:
• Arrowhead style is defined in Text Type Properties, not instance properties or
global settings.
5. Adjusting Wall Layer Extensions Independently

affecting other layers. How?
