AutoDesk RVT_ELEC_01101 Exam - Topic 3 Question 3 Discussion

Actual exam question for AutoDesk's RVT_ELEC_01101 exam

[All RVT_ELEC_01101 Questions]

Refer to exhibit.

Which two actions were used to create this light fixture schedule? (Select two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, D

In the given Lighting Fixture Schedule, each row represents a lighting fixture type rather than individual instances, and the ''Count'' column summarizes how many fixtures of that type exist in the project. To achieve this layout in Revit, two specific actions must be performed in the Schedule Properties dialog:

Deselected ''Itemize every instance.''

The Revit documentation explains:

''Itemize every instance. This option displays all instances of an element in individual rows. If you clear this option, multiple instances collapse to the same row based on the sorting parameter. If you do not specify a sorting parameter, all instances collapse to one row.''

By deselecting this checkbox, Revit consolidates identical fixture instances of the same type into a single row --- exactly as shown in the exhibit, where each ''Type Mark'' (A, B, C, etc.) appears once with a summarized Count.

Sorted by Type Mark.

On the same Sorting/Grouping tab, Revit allows users to organize the schedule by a specific field:

''On the Sorting/Grouping tab of the Schedule Properties dialog, you can specify sorting options for rows in a schedule... You can sort by any field in a schedule, except Count.''

In the example, fixtures are sorted alphabetically by their ''Type Mark'' (A through E). This ensures the grouped and counted results appear in order.

Other options---such as filtering by type mark or adding switch data---do not impact how instances collapse or group within the schedule.

A and B make sense, but C seems off.

I’m a bit confused about the sorting options. I feel like sorting by type mark makes sense, but I can't recall if we discussed sorting by instance and quantity.

I remember a practice question where we had to filter by type mark, so I feel like option B could be correct.

I think deselecting "Itemize every instance" might be one of the actions, but I'm not entirely sure about the second one.

Definitely B and D. Sorting by type mark and filtering for type marks is the way to do it.

I definitely remember that we talked about adding electrical settings, but I’m not sure if that’s relevant here.

I think B and D are the correct answers. Filtering to show only lights with a type mark and sorting by type mark seems like the way to go.

Alright, I've got a strategy. I'll start by filtering to show only the lights with a type mark, then sort by that field to see the pattern.

Okay, let me think this through. I'm pretty sure I need to filter and sort the data, but I'm not sure which specific actions to choose.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the exhibit and options to figure out the right actions.
