    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Sketches can modify more than one drawing.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Sketches cannot modify more than one drawing. A sketch is a rough, preliminary drawing that is typically used as a starting point for creating a more detailed and finalized drawing. It is meant to be specific to a single drawing and is not designed to modify multiple drawings simultaneously. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    The most important attribute for a drawing is?

    • Discipline

    • Number

    • Revision

    • Issue Date

    Correct Answer
    A. Discipline
    Explanation
    Discipline in drawing refers to the artist's commitment, focus, and dedication to the craft, which are essential for consistent practice, attention to detail, patience, and learning and refining techniques. The other options (Number, Revision, Issue Date) do not directly relate to the fundamental attributes required for drawing and are therefore not as relevant or essential in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Drawings can be stored as a single file for each discipline.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation

    • 32104

    Correct Answer
    A. 032104
    Explanation
    The format "03 21 04" adheres to the MasterFormat system, which is a standardized organizational structure widely used in the construction industry for categorizing construction-related information. In the MasterFormat system, numbers are used to classify information into specific divisions, groups, and sections.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Preconstruction or design drawings should have a revision number that starts with "00" and increases with each revision.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    False. Preconstruction or design drawings typically have a revision number that starts with "A" or another designation to indicate that they are preliminary or conceptual versions. The revision number then increases with each subsequent revision, typically using alphabetical characters (e.g., A, B, C) rather than numerical characters.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Sketches are usually attached to which type of document?

    • Preconstruction Drawings

    • Construction Drawings

    • Both Preconstruction and Construction Drawings

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Which is a valid Revision for a Preconstruction document?

    • 1A

    • A

    • 00

    • 0A

    Correct Answer
    A. A
    Explanation
    A valid revision for a Preconstruction document would typically be "A." In the context of preconstruction documents, revisions are often denoted using alphabetical characters, such as "A," "B," "C," etc., to indicate different versions or iterations of the document. Numeric characters like "1A," "00," or "0A" are less commonly used for revisions in preconstruction documents.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    The revision "03A" is not a recommended revision number.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    True. The revision "03A" is not a recommended revision number format. Typically, revisions are designated using alphabetical characters (e.g., A, B, C) after a numerical prefix (e.g., 01, 02, 03) to indicate major revisions followed by minor revisions. Using a letter after the numerical revision, such as "03A," can lead to confusion in tracking revisions and is not a common or recommended practice in document management for construction projects.
