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






3. To add explanatory notes to.






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






5. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






8. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






10. 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






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






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






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






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






15. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






16. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






18. At an angle of 90






19. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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 distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






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






24. Attach or position securely.






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






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






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






28. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






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






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






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






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






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






35. Lying in the same straight line.






36. 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






37. 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






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






39. Make larger in area.






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






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






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






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






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






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






47. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






48. Parallel to the X axis.






49. Designed to be practical and useful.






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.
