Design And Modeling Vocab

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 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. A line type that is used to indicate the axis of symmetry for a part or feature.






2. Designed to be practical and useful.






3. A limit to a design process. Constraints may be such things as appearance - funding - space - materials - and human capabilities. A limitation or restriction.






4. A method of realistic drawing in which the part of an object closest to the viewer is a planar face - and all the lines describing sides perpendicular to that face can be extended back to converge at one point - the vanishing point






5. To imagine the visual form of an object or situation that one cannot see.






6. Parallel to the Y axis.






7. A model devised to expose its parts for study - training or testing.






8. A full- scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.






9. A form of pictorial drawing in which all three drawing axes form equal angles of 120 degrees with the plane of projection.






10. Having the dimensions of height - width - and depth.






11. Lines that are thin and used to connect a specific note to a feature.






12. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






13. A form of pictorial drawing in which vanishing points are used to provide the depth and distortion that is seen with the human eye.






14. Dimensions that show the exact location of parts of an object.






15. A point in space - usually located on the horizon - where parallel edges of an object appear to converge.






16. At an angle of 90






17. To add explanatory notes to.






18. The amount by which something is out of line.






19. Having the dimensions of height and width - height and depth - or width and depth only.






20. A change or correction made as a result of editing.






21. The use of a computer to assist in the process of designing a part - circuit - building - etc.






22. Thin lines capped with arrowheads - which may be broken along their length to provide space for the dimension numerals.






23. Restrictions applied to geometric entities; for example - horizontal - parallel - perpendicular - and tangent.






24. The documents that are required for something or that give evidence or proof of something. A drawing or printed information that contains instructions for assembling - installing - operating - and servicing.






25. A straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at one point.






26. Lines - planes - or surfaces side by side and having the same distance continuously between them.






27. To move in a circle about a central axis.






28. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






30. Standardization of lines used on technical drawings by line weight and style.






31. A detailed description of the design and materials used to make something






32. A method of representing three- dimensional objects on a plane having only length and breadth.






33. An iterative decision - making process that produces plans by which resources are converted into products or systems that meet human needs and wants or solve problems.






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






35. The distance from front to back.






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






37. Make larger in area.






38. The measurement of someone or something from head to foot or from base to top.






39. Used to describe the size and location of individual geometric shapes.






40. A line type that represents an edge that is not directly visible because it is behind or beneath another surface.






41. A form of pictorial drawing in which all three drawing axes form equal angles of 120 degrees with the plane of projection.






42. Turning around an axis or center point.






43. A conical- shaped recess around a hole that is often used to receive a tapered screw.






44. A flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points would wholly lie.






45. A proportion between two sets of dimensions used in developing accurate - larger or smaller prototypes - or models of design ideas.






46. A sequential record of the construction steps in a 3D modeling program






47. The surface that 2D profiles can be sketched on.






48. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






49. Lying in the same straight line.






50. A rough drawing representing the main features of an object or scene and often made as a preliminary study.
