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. 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






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






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






4. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






16. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






19. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






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






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






23. The distance from front to back.






24. Parallel to the X axis.






25. 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






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






27. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






29. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






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






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






34. At an angle of 90






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






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






37. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






38. 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.






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






40. 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.






41. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






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






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






46. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






47. 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






48. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






50. Make larger in area.
