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. The amount by which something is out of line.






2. Attach or position securely.






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






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






5. Occupying the same area in space.






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






7. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






15. The distance from front to back.






16. 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.






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






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






19. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






20. 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






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






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






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






24. 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.






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






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






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






28. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






31. 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






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






33. 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






34. Turning around an axis or center point.






35. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






38. Lying in the same straight line.






39. At an angle of 90






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






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






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






43. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






44. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






45. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






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






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






50. 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.
