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. Actual size of framing member






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






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






4. Vertical cut through house - used to show construction components of building






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






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






7. Used in architecture to show exterior views of buildings






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






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






10. Simple method of drawing threads on an orthographic drawing






11. Mass divided by volume.






12. Exact drawing representation of a given thread type






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






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






15. 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






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






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






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






19. The amount of matter an object contains.






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






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






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






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






24. Used to represent visible lines on a drawing






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






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






27. Counter space requirements on either side of sink






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






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






30. Nominal size of a framing member






31. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






33. To cut internal threads.






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






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






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






37. 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.






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






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






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






41. 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.






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






43. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






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