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 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






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






3. 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.






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






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






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






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






8. To add explanatory notes to.






9. A measurable extent - such as the three principal dimensions of an object of width - height - and depth.






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






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






12. Placed directly on a feature to identify a specific size or may be connected to a feature in the form of a note.






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






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






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






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






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






18. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. Occupying the same area in space.






27. A preliminary visual of a possible idea for a design. Most thumbnail sketches are not full- size and have little detail. They are intended to quickly explore possible alternative designs.






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






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






30. 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






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






32. A line type that is used to indicate the axis of symmetry for a part or feature.






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






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






35. An outline of something as seen from one side.






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






37. A rounded interior blend between two surfaces. Some uses are to strengthen joining surfaces or to allow a part to be removed from a mold.






38. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






39. At an angle of 90






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






41. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






42. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






43. Turning around an axis or center point.






44. 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.






45. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






46. 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






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






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






49. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






50. Attach or position securely.
