Subject : it-skills
Instructions:
  • Answer 46 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Vertical cut through house - used to show construction components of building






2. Nominal size of a framing member






3. A two dimensional drawing of the front - top - and side views of an object






4. Used in AutoCAD to show various materials in sectional drawings






5. A drawing that shows an object as it appears to the human eye - includes isometric and perspective drawings






6. An orthographic drawing of multiple parts that shows relationship of parts to each other in a mechanism






7. The sum of all the areas of all surfaces of a solid.






8. Horizontal section through building - shows width and depth of building






9. To cut internal threads.






10. To draw a figure inside another touching it at points but not cutting it.






11. Amount of money that clients have to spend on cost of building






12. Used to define specific size requirements of openings in the building






13. Used by architect to design buildings to the client's wants and needs






14. Used to make lines of varying colors and widths on CAD drawings






15. Three dimensional drawing made up of equal angles of 120 degrees - most common 3-D drawing used in industry






16. Gradual diminution of width or thickness in an elongated object.






17. Pictorial drawing of mechanism to show how parts interrelated to each other






18. A manufacturing process that forces material through a shaped opening.






19. A conical-shaped recess around a hole - often used to receive a tapered screw.






20. Turning around an axis or center point.






21. A document that show the quantity of each type of direct material required to make a product






22. Constant - non-numerical relationships between the parts of a geometric figure. Examples include parallel - perpendicular - and concentric.






23. An estimated cost used by architects to begin schematic design process






24. Actual size of framing member






25. A cylindrical recess around a hole - usually to receive a bolt head or nut






26. To flip a shape over a line of symmetry and double the image.






27. Counter space requirements on either side of sink






28. Exact drawing representation of a given thread type






29. Three dimensional drawing that depth lines disappear to a vanishing point. Used mainly in architectural presentations






30. Used in architecture to show exterior views of buildings






31. User coordinate system - used in the construction of 3D solids in AutoCAD






32. Three dimensional drawing where the front faces forward - and the depth dimensions go back at angles - usually 15 - 30 - or 45 degrees. Used when most information on drawing is on the front of the object.






33. Used in perspectives for determining the direction of the depth lines






34. A line used to represent the middle of a circle in engineering drawings






35. Simple method of drawing threads on an orthographic drawing






36. To draw a figure around another touching it at points but not cutting it.






37. A straight line from the center to the circumference of a circle or sphere.






38. For a three-dimensional object - a line that cannot be seen because view of it is obstructed by part of the object or of another object






39. The amount of matter an object contains.






40. Mass divided by volume.






41. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






42. Used to represent visible lines on a drawing






43. A straight line passing from side to side through the center of a circle or sphere.






44. The amount of space occupied by a substance or object or enclosed within a container.






45. A quadrilateral whose opposite sides are both parallel and equal in length






46. A regular oval shape traced by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points is constant.
