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






2. 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






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






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






5. 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






6. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






7. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






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






10. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






13. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






15. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






16. Occupying the same area in space.






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






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






19. 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.






20. 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.






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






22. 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.






23. To add explanatory notes to.






24. The distance from front to back.






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






26. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






29. Parallel to the X axis.






30. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






32. Attach or position securely.






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






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






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






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






37. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






46. Lying in the same straight line.






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






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






49. Make larger in area.






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