Revit for Architectural Design Professional Certification Practice Exam

To see the walls on Level 1 in a Level 2 floor plan view, adding an underlay is the correct approach. An underlay allows you to reference elements from another level in the view. By setting the underlay to display Level 1, you can visualize the walls and other components that exist at that level within your Level 2 floor plan.

Underlays are particularly useful in architectural design because they aid in ensuring that the current design aligns with the elements that have been placed below, facilitating coordination and accuracy in the design process. This feature enhances the clarity of the drawing and allows designers and draftsmen to ensure that the elements on Level 2 relate properly to those on Level 1.

While scope boxes, plan regions, and view filters have their distinct functionalities within Revit, they do not provide the same direct reference to elements from a different level as an underlay does. Scope boxes help to limit the visibility area of a view but do not show elements from another level. Plan regions modify visibility within defined areas but do not inherently allow the view of elements from different levels. View filters control the visibility of certain elements based on specific criteria but do not reference other levels directly. Thus, using an underlay is the most appropriate
