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. Lying in the same straight line.






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






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






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






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






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






7. The distance from front to back.






8. Parallel to the X axis.






9. 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






10. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






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






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






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






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






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






17. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






20. Make larger in area.






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






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






23. To add explanatory notes to.






24. At an angle of 90






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






26. 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.






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






28. 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.






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






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






31. Designed to be practical and useful.






32. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






33. 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






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






35. Attach or position securely.






36. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






40. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






41. 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






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






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






44. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






47. 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






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






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






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