Authentic Autodesk Certification Exam RVT_ELEC_01101 Questions Answers

When performing an Interference Check in Revit, the Interference Report dialog is generated. This report lists all interfering elements found. To select or locate a specific element—such as a cable tray fitting—the designer must use the Show command.

The official workflow from the Revit documentation clearly states:

“To see one of the elements that is intersected, select its name in the Interference Report dialog, and click Show. The current view displays the problem.”

This confirms that selecting the row that lists the interfering cable tray fitting and clicking Show will highlight and activate the view containing the clashing element—allowing it to be modified or moved to resolve the conflict.

This means the designer must:

Click the row containing the cable tray fitting in the Message list.

Click Show to highlight and locate it in the model view so the clash can be addressed directly.

This reference explicitly confirms that Show is the correct method to select the clashing cable tray fitting from the interference results in order to resolve the conflict.

In Autodesk Revit Electrical Design, when an electrical designer attempts to control a receptacle (an Electrical Fixture family) with a switch (a Lighting Device family) as part of a switch system, Revit will only allow this connection if the receptacle’s family has been configured as Switchable within the Family Editor.

According to the Autodesk Revit MEP User’s Guide (Chapter 17 – “Electrical Systems”):

“Revit allows you to add elements such as lighting fixtures or receptacles to a switch system only if the family includes a switchable connector. The ‘Switchable’ parameter must be enabled in the Family Editor to allow this connection.”

This means that for the receptacle shown in the exhibit to appear as an available component for switching, the Electrical Connector within its family must have the Switchable property checked. This parameter is found under:

Family Editor → Select Connector → Properties Palette → Electrical - Data → Switchable.

If this option is not enabled, Revit treats the receptacle as a standard unswitched outlet and will not display it in the switch system creation dialog. Once the option is checked, the designer can reload the family into the project and associate it with a switch system normally.

Additionally, the Smithsonian Facilities Revit Template User’s Guide explains this concept as follows:

“To associate receptacles with lighting switches, ensure that the receptacle family has a switchable connector. Without this setting, the device will not appear as an assignable component to a switch system.”

This distinction is important in residential electrical modeling, where switched receptacles are common for plug-in lamps. Lighting circuits can include both Lighting Fixtures and Switchable Receptacles when the family configuration supports it.

Incorrect Options Explanation:

A. A switch system not being created is irrelevant — the issue occurs before system creation.

C. Being on the same circuit doesn’t affect switchability; it affects electrical load connection.

D. Incorrect — Revit supports switchable receptacles if properly configured.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. The receptacle’s “Switchable” option is not selected within the family editor.

In Revit, when editing a family in the Family Editor and reloading it into a project, Revit handles type changes using specific update rules. Types that are renamed overwrite their earlier version in the project because they retain the same internal type ID. Types that are added to the family also appear in the project once reloaded.

Initially, the family contains two types:

Above Counter

Plain

The changes made in the Family Editor are:

1️⃣ Rename Plain → Standard

2️⃣ Add a new type named GFCI

According to documented Revit behavior for type updates:

“When a family is reloaded into the project, any renamed family type replaces its previous version while maintaining its parameter assignments. Newly created types are added as additional family types available for placement within the project.”

Therefore:

Plain no longer exists because it was renamed

Standard now exists in its place

GFCI is added as a new family type

Above Counter remains unchanged

Thus, the family in the project now contains:

✅ Above Counter

✅ GFCI

✅ Standard

???? This matches answer choice:

B. Above Counter, GFCI, Standard
