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 rounded interior blend between two surfaces. Some uses are to strengthen joining surfaces or to allow a part to be removed from a mold.






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






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






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






5. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






6. 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






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






8. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






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






12. Occupying the same area in space.






13. 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






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






15. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






16. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






17. 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






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






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






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






21. Turning around an axis or center point.






22. Designed to be practical and useful.






23. At an angle of 90






24. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






27. The amount by which something is out of line.






28. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






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






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






33. Make larger in area.






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






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






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






37. The distance from front to back.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






45. 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






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






47. 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.






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






49. Lying in the same straight line.






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