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. Also called line width. The thickness of a line - characterized as thick or thin.






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






4. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






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






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






9. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






12. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






13. A realistic way of drawing objects in three dimensions using a horizon line - a key edge - and two vanishing points.






14. Views is shorthand for multiview projection - which is a system used to view an object. The six mutually perpendicular directions any object may be viewed are top - front - right- side - rear - left- side - and bottom. Top - front - and right- side v






15. The distance from front to back.






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






17. A thin solid line perpendicular to a dimension line - indicating which feature is associated with the dimension.






18. Thin lines that serve as guides while sketching or drawing.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






28. A closed geometric figure in a plane formed by connecting line segements endpoint to endpoint with each segment intersecting exactly two others. Polygons are classified by the number of sides they have - such as a triangle has three sides - a quadril






29. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






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






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






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






34. 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.






35. The measurement or extent of something from side to side.






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






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






38. Attach or position securely.






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






40. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






41. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






42. Parallel to the X axis.






43. Designed to be practical and useful.






44. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






45. A heavy solid line used on a drawing to represent the outline of an object.






46. Make larger in area.






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






48. A visual - mathematical - or three- dimensional representation in detail of an object or design - often smaller than the original. A model is often used to test ideas - make changes to a design - and to learn more about what would happen to a similar






49. 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






50. Parallel to the Y axis.
