Question #:1 - [Families, Connectors, and Parameters]
Refer to exhibit.
An electrical designer is reviewing the Type Properties for a floor plan view. How will the view behove when
creating a new floor plan?
A. The Electrical Plan view template will be assigned to a new floor plan view created with the Floor Plan
tool with the Floor Plan type selected
B. Creating a new floor plan view using the Floor Plan tool with the Floor Plan type selected will create a
new Electrical Plan view template.
C. When duplicating a floor plan view of any type, the Electrical Plan view template will be assigned to
the new floor plan view.
D. A new floor plan view created by duplicating a floor plan view of the Floor Plan type will be duplicated
as a dependent view.
Answer: A
Explanation
The exhibit shown displays the Type Properties dialog box for a System Family: Floor Plan view type.
Within the “Identity Data” group, there are two critical parameters that govern the behavior of new views
created from this view type:
“View Template applied to new views”

Certs Exam
Autodesk - RVT_ELEC_01101
“New views are dependent on template”
According to Autodesk Revit’s documentation in the Revit MEP User’s Guide (Chapter 48 “Views and View
Templates” and Chapter 49 “Preparing Construction Documents”):
“When a view template is assigned to a view type through the Type Properties dialog, any new view created
from that view type automatically receives the defined view template. This ensures consistent visibility,
graphics, and discipline settings for all new views.”
In this image, the parameter “View Template applied to new views” is set to Electrical Plan, and “New
views are dependent on template” is checked. This means that any new floor plan created using this type
will automatically have the Electrical Plan template applied, and the view will be dependent on that
template, meaning it inherits all its visibility and annotation control settings.
This ensures that all electrical floor plan views generated are standardized and visually consistent, a
fundamental practice in Revit Electrical Design workflows, as described in the Smithsonian Facilities Revit
Template User’s Guide:
“Assigning a default view template to a view type (e.g., Electrical Plan) ensures every new view created
follows organizational and graphical standards without manual setup.”
Option A matches this behavior exactly.
Option B is incorrect** because Revit does not create a new template automatically.
Option C is incorrect** because duplication of an existing view does not reassign templates by type.
Option D is incorrect** because dependent view creation requires a specific “Duplicate as Dependent”
command, not this setting.

D. Reload Latest
Answer: A
Explanation
When lighting fixtures placed in an architectural linked model need to be replicated in the electrical model
while maintaining their exact positions, the correct tool is Copy/Monitor.
This Revit feature allows the electrical designer to copy elements—like lighting fixtures—from a linked
model into their project, while establishing a monitoring relationship between the original (architectural)
and copied (electrical) instances.
From the Autodesk Revit MEP User’s Guide – Chapter 55 “Multi-Discipline Coordination” (pages 1349–
1357):
“Use the Copy/Monitor tool to copy MEP fixtures from an architectural model into an MEP project,
and monitor them for changes.”
(Revit MEP User’s Guide, p. 1350)
“To copy fixtures from a linked model:
Click Collaborate tab # Coordinate panel # Copy/Monitor # Select Link.
Select the linked architectural model in the drawing area.
Click Copy and select the lighting fixtures to copy.
Click Finish.Revit MEP copies the fixtures to the current project and establishes monitoring
relationships.”*(Revit MEP User’s Guide, p. 1356)
Behavior and Benefits:
The copied lighting fixtures maintain the same location, orientation, and type mapping as in the
linked model.
Any changes (move, delete, or modify) made by the architect in the linked model will trigger a
coordination review in the electrical model.
This ensures accurate positioning and easy coordination between disciplines.
“When you select a copied fixture in the current project, the monitor icon displays next to the fixture,
indicating that it has a relationship with the original fixture in the linked model.”
(Revit MEP User’s Guide, p. 1357)
“If copied fixtures are moved, changed, or deleted in the linked model, Revit MEP notifies the
engineers of the changes during Coordination Review.”

Question #:3 - [Families, Connectors, and Parameters]
An electrical designer wants to schedule parameters from generic annotations Which type of schedule must be
created?
A. A Generic Family schedule
B. A Generic Annotation schedule
C. A Note Block
D. D. A Sheet List
Answer: C
Explanation
When an electrical designer wants to schedule parameters from Generic Annotations, the correct method is
to use a Note Block, not a generic schedule. Revit documentation defines this process clearly under
Annotation Schedules (Note Blocks):
“Annotation schedules, or note blocks, list all instances of annotations that you can add using the
Symbol tool.”
“Creating an Annotation Schedule (Note Block):
Load the generic annotation family or families into your project and place them where desired.
Click View tab # Create panel # Schedules drop-down # Note Block.
In the New Note Block dialog, for Family, select a generic annotation.”
This extract confirms that when working with generic annotation families, Revit requires the use of a Note
Block to extract and list their parameters in a schedule. Standard schedules such as Generic Model or Family
schedules cannot access data from Generic Annotations since they are annotation-based, not model-based.
Question #:4 - [Electrical Systems and Circuiting]

model?

Certs Exam
Autodesk - RVT_ELEC_01101
D. Worksharing Display
Answer: B
Explanation
In Autodesk Revit, particularly for electrical and MEP design disciplines using a workshared model, the
command “Reload Latest” allows a designer to see changes made by other users without saving or
publishing their own work to the central model. This tool ensures that while the designer continues to work
locally, their environment stays updated with the latest modifications made by colleagues.
According to the Autodesk Revit MEP User Guide (Chapter 54 – Working in a Team), under the section
Loading Updates from the Central Model, it states:
“As you work, you can see the changes other team members have made to the project after they have been
synchronized with the central model. You can load updates from the central model without publishing your
changes to the central model.
In your local file, click Collaborate tab # Synchronize panel # (Reload Latest).”
This confirms that the Reload Latest command refreshes your local file with any modifications from the
central file that others have synchronized, but it does not send your local changes back. It is a critical feature
for coordination in a team environment, especially when multiple designers—such as electrical, mechanical,
and structural engineers—are contributing simultaneously to a shared BIM model.
By contrast:
A. Relinquish All Mine only releases ownership of elements but doesn’t update the local model.
C. Manage Worksets is for controlling visibility and editability of worksets.
D. Worksharing Display visually identifies ownership and status but doesn’t refresh model data.
Therefore, when an electrical designer needs to review updates from others (for example, when a lighting
layout needs coordination with architectural ceiling adjustments), the proper workflow is to use Reload Latest
, ensuring all new information from the central model appears instantly without saving or affecting their
current unsaved edits.

Question #:5 - [Conduit and Cable Tray Modeling]
Refer to the exhibit.
An electrical designer models a cable tray in a project and decides to check the box (or Use Annot. Scale tor
Single Line Fittings and change the Cable Tray Fitting Annotation Size to 1/8" (3 mm).
What is the result?
(The image is presented m Imperial units: 1 In = 25 mm (Metric units rounded].)
A. All cable tray fittings in the project are changed per the new settings.
B. All cable tray fittings in the project change per the new settings when a views detail level is set to Fine.
C. New cable tray fittings use the new settings in views set to 1/8" (3 mm) scale.
D. New cable tray fittings use the new settings after the change.
Answer: A
Explanation
In Autodesk Revit MEP, the Electrical Settings dialog box contains project-wide configuration parameters
that affect all electrical systems, including Cable Tray Settings. This dialog allows users to control
annotation scales, fitting symbols, and text size for documentation purposes.
The option labeled “Use Annot. Scale for Single Line Fittings” determines whether the cable tray fittings’
annotation graphics automatically scale according to the view’s annotation scale. When this box is checked,
the annotation symbol size for fittings adjusts proportionally to the scale of the view.
Similarly, “Cable Tray Fitting Annotation Size” defines the annotation size for cable tray fittings in singleline representations (schematic views or simplified plan representations). Changing this parameter (for
instance, from ¾” to #”) modifies the visual representation globally for all cable tray fittings in the project,
since the Electrical Settings dialog is a project-wide configuration, not a per-instance or per-view override.
According to the Autodesk Revit MEP User’s Guide (Electrical Systems – Cable Trays):
“Electrical settings define how cable trays and conduit are displayed throughout the project. Any change made
to these settings, such as annotation size or use of annotation scaling, affects all related fittings and
components in the project model.”

Therefore, once the designer checks the box for Use Annot. Scale for Single Line Fittings and changes the
Cable Tray Fitting Annotation Size to 1/8” (3 mm), all cable tray fittings across the entire project will update
to reflect these new settings.
Question #:6 - [Families, Connectors, and Parameters]
Refer to exhibit.
An electrical designer tries to place a generic annotation family in a data device family. The designer receives
the error message as shown. What should the designer do?
A. Change the Detail Level to Coarse.
B. Edit the generic annotation family and set it to Shared.
C. Set the view to the Ref. Level.
D. Select the Maintain Annotation Orientation parameter checkbox
Answer: B
Explanation
The warning message — “Can’t create this kind of element in this view in the current mode” — appears
when an electrical designer attempts to place a Generic Annotation family inside a model family (e.g., a
data device or electrical fixture) that is not configured to host annotation elements.
According to the Revit Electrical Design documentation, Generic Annotation families are 2D annotation
elements, and therefore, cannot be created or viewed in 3D model views unless configured as “Shared.” The
official guide clarifies:
“You can create generic annotation families and nest them inside host model families so that the annotations
display in the project.”
However, this only functions correctly if the annotation is enabled to act independently within the host:
“To allow a nested annotation to be visible and editable when placed in a host model family, the nested
annotation must be set to Shared before loading it into the host.”
If the nested annotation is not set to Shared, Revit cannot create or display it in the host’s model view,
triggering this exact warning.
Thus, the correct workflow is:

Open the Generic Annotation family in the Family Editor.
Go to Family Category and Parameters.

Save and reload the family into the host electrical device family.
Other options—changing view level, detail level, or annotation orientation—do not resolve this placement
restriction.
Question #:7 - [Families, Connectors, and Parameters]

Explanation
When working on linked architectural and electrical Revit models, the Copy/Monitor tool enables
electrical designers to copy selected elements (such as lighting or electrical fixtures) from the architectural
model into their electrical model. This workflow ensures that any subsequent modifications to these elements
in the architectural file are automatically detected and flagged for coordination review.

“Use Copy/Monitor to copy elements from a linked model so that changes to the original elements are
tracked. When copying multiple similar elements, select Allow batch copy to automatically copy all instances
of that category.”
The Coordination Settings dialog provides two primary behavioral controls for each category (such as
Electrical Fixtures):
1## Copy Behavior
Allow batch copy: Automatically copies all elements of the selected category from the linked
architectural model to the host electrical model.
This option is ideal for electrical fixtures because it ensures all instances are copied efficiently without
manual selection and allows future synchronization.
2## Mapping Behavior
Copy original: Creates an exact duplicate of the architectural family in the electrical model without
substituting family types or parameters.
This ensures full fidelity with the architect’s fixtures and enables Revit to automatically detect newly
added or modified elements in the linked model for coordination review.
The Smithsonian Facilities Revit Template User’s Guide also confirms this workflow:
“Set Copy Behavior to Allow batch copy and Mapping Behavior to Copy original when monitoring shared
architectural elements like lighting fixtures, ensuring accurate duplication and automatic update tracking.”
These settings allow Revit to issue coordination warnings such as “Instance of link needs Coordination
Review” whenever the architectural model is updated, maintaining synchronization across disciplines.

In Autodesk Revit Electrical Design, the Project Browser can be customized to organize views according to
disciplines, levels, and view types using the Browser Organization Properties dialog box. This feature
allows electrical designers to create structured view hierarchies that align with project standards and simplify
navigation — especially in multidisciplinary projects.
According to the Revit MEP User’s Guide (Chapter 41 “Browser Organization and View Management”):
“Browser organization defines how project views are grouped and displayed in the Project Browser. You can
customize sorting by Discipline, Level, View Type, or any parameter applicable to views.”
In the given exhibit, the Project Browser structure shows views grouped first by discipline (“Coordination,”
“Electrical”), then by level (“Level 1,” “Level 2”), and finally by view type (e.g., “Floor Plans,” “Ceiling
Plans”). This organization allows the electrical designer to isolate MEP-related views while maintaining
logical grouping under each building level.

To achieve this layout, the designer must apply the following browser organization setup in the Browser
Organization Properties dialog box:
1## Group by: Discipline – creates top-level folders such as Architectural, Structural, Electrical, etc.
2## Then by: Associated Level – organizes each discipline into subfolders based on floor levels (Level 1,
Level 2, etc.).
3## Then by: Family and Type – further organizes the level folders into view categories (e.g., Floor Plans,
Ceiling Plans).
This configuration is supported by the Smithsonian Facilities Revit Template User’s Guide:
“Grouping by Discipline, Level, and View Type provides logical organization for MEP coordination,
facilitating efficient access to electrical floor and ceiling plan views.”
Sorting by View Name (Ascending) ensures consistent alphabetical listing under each category.

C. Choose an arrow type for the Leader Arrowhead in the Type Properties.
D. Select the tag and enable Leader Line in the Properties palette

Autodesk - RVT_ELEC_01101
According to the Revit MEP User’s Guide – Annotating Chapter (Chapter 47 and 42), the section “Modifying
Tags” explains:
“Select the tag, and on the Properties palette, click (Edit Type). In the Type Properties dialog, select a value
for Leader Arrowhead to add an arrowhead to the leader line.”
This confirms that the arrowhead is defined at the type level, meaning any change applies to all tags or text
notes of that annotation type throughout the project. The Leader Arrowhead property allows the designer to
choose from predefined arrowhead styles (like “Filled Arrow,” “Dot,” “Tick Mark,” etc.), which are defined
globally under:
Manage tab # Settings panel # Additional Settings # Arrowheads.
Furthermore, the document specifies under “Leader Arrowhead Properties”:
“Sets the arrowhead shape on the leader line. The value is the name of the arrowhead style defined by the
Arrowheads tool.”
This behavior applies to all annotation categories, including text notes, keynotes, material tags, and electrical
device tags, maintaining consistency across all view types in an electrical project.
Therefore, Option C is the correct answer because arrowheads are configured via Type Properties, while the
other options are inaccurate:
Option A (Free End) only defines leader attachment behavior.
Option B (Instance properties) does not include a “Leader Arrowhead” toggle.
Option D (Enable Leader Line) only adds or removes a leader line, not the arrowhead style.

D. The lights move with the pattern if they are defined as ceiling-hosted types.
Answer: A
Explanation
When working in Autodesk Revit for MEP Electrical Design, lighting fixtures can be either hosted (such as
ceiling-hosted or wall-hosted) or non-hosted. The movement of lighting fixtures in relation to linked model
elements—like ceiling grids—is determined by the hosting condition and alignment constraints applied to
those elements.
According to the Revit MEP User’s Guide (Chapter 24 “Ceilings” and Chapter 50 “Rendering”), a ceiling is a
level-based element. You can create it on a specified level and host ceiling-based families such as lighting
fixtures. When a ceiling is modified or repositioned, the hosted lighting fixtures will move with the ceiling
itself, maintaining their relationship to the host surface. However, when ceiling grid patterns are changed or
moved in a linked Revit model, the movement of those grid patterns does not automatically propagate to
hosted elements in the electrical model unless those elements are directly linked or constrained to a movable
reference plane.
As described:
“Ceilings are level-based elements… When you create a ceiling, you can host components such as lighting
fixtures on its face. Hosted elements remain associated with their host even if the ceiling is modified.”
And further in the glossary section:
“Rehost: To move a component from one host to another. For example, you can use the Pick New Host tool to
move a window from one wall to another wall.”
This confirms that a hosted light fixture maintains its attachment to the host element (the ceiling) but not
to the grid pattern itself. Grid movement within a linked ceiling model does not alter the position of lights
unless they are manually re-hosted or alignment-locked directly to a specific geometry within the host model.
Therefore, the correct interpretation is that when ceiling grid patterns move within a linked Revit model, the
lights placed in the electrical model do not follow the grid pattern movement automatically. They remain
stationary relative to the ceiling surface, provided they are hosted correctly.
This behavior reflects Revit’s parametric relationships — “hosted elements maintain dependency only on
their host, not on graphical references like grids unless locked via constraints.”
