IDFX PRACTICE TEST 1/25/20While designing a high end hotel, the client is having a hard time understanding the design’s use of
volume and form to create drama in the hotel lobby.
They have requested a 3D representation be shown at the next meeting to better help understand the
design.
What method would best communicate your design given the client’s request?
study model
Source: Interior Design Reference Manual, 6th Edition, Communication Methods, Models
A model is an excellent way to communicate the three-dimensional aspects of an interior space,
especially to clients who may not be adept at understanding two-dimensional drawings of elevations and
rendered floor plans. At times, models can show spaces even better than can three-dimensional
drawings like perspectives or isometrics.
What makes a rendering appear more natural and create the illusion of three dimensions?
incorporating light
The most important thing to understand about rendering is that, regardless of style, itintroduces
qualities of illumination to a drawing. This means that good rendering introduces light into the drawing
making it appear more natural and creating the illusion of three dimension.
,Once a designer has narrowed the search for furniture to several options, actual samples or mockups
may be needed for the designer and client to make a final selection.
Which of the following would be a typical method of obtaining samples or mockups?
order a custom full size mock up made from wood panel or other materials
have the manufacturer send a sample to the client's home or office
all of these
take the client to a dealership or major design center to view the product
Which scheduling tool graphically depicts:
all tasks required to complete a project
the sequence in which they must occur
their duration
the earliest or latest possible starting time
the earliest or latest possible completion
Critical Path Method chart
A CPM (critical path method) chart graphically depicts all tasks required to complete a project, the
sequence in which they must occur, their duration, the earliest or latest possible starting time, and the
earliest or latest possible completion. It also defines the sequence of critical tasks that must be started
and finished exactly on time if the total schedule is to be met.
,Here is a sample of a critical path for an interior design project:The designer obtains the client’s needs,
prepares floor plans, obtains the client’s approval, orders products, and installs and/or delivers products.
It is clear that it is impossible, as well as unwise, to try to do any one of these tasks before completing
the one directly preceding it.
As the interrelationships are entered into the computer, along with due dates and the duration of each
task, the computer automatically makes the calculations and makes the adjustments for changes in the
schedule. Then new charts are produced, which can be given in different for mats to the interior design
team members, the client, and other stakeholders.

Overall department relationships of a large company being planned to occupy a multistory building
would most likely be shown in
a stacking diagram
To show overall departmental relationships (rather than individual space relationships), a stacking
diagram is used.
Then individual block diagrams or bubble diagrams are developed for each floor.
Which of the following is NOT one of the most important considerations for light quality?
bulb type
The quality of light is just as important as the quantity. Important considerations are glare, contrast,
uniformity and color.
, This exhibit illustrates which type of veneer wood cut?
Quarter slicing
Source: Interior Design Reference Manual 6th Edition, Architectural woodwork, types of veneer cuts
Quarter slicing is created by cutting a log into quarters, then very thinly slicing perpendicular to the
diameter, giving a more uniform graining pattern.

If a designer is working on a project with a short completion date what might affect their furniture
selections for the project?
production time
Your client has told you that they would like a living room rug that is natural, environmentally friendly,
and free of dyes and other harsh chemicals. It must also be durable and wick moisture/spills. Which of
the following would be the best choice?
a 100% wool rug
Wool is a natural material and one of the best for carpet. It is very durable and resilient, wears well, has
a superior appearance, is flame resistant and is relatively easy to clean and maintain.
Natural colored wool rugs are typically free of dyes and other harsh chemicals. Wool is a renewable
resource, and liquids will bead on a wool rug for easy clean up and removal.
