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






2. 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.






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






4. Parallel to the X axis.






5. To add explanatory notes to.






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






7. Lying in the same straight line.






8. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






9. 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






10. 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.






11. Attach or position securely.






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






13. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






14. 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






15. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






17. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






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






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






22. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






34. The distance from front to back.






35. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






36. Make larger in area.






37. 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






38. 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.






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






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






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






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






43. 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






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






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






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






47. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






49. At an angle of 90






50. Occupying the same area in space.
