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






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






3. 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






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






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






6. The distance from front to back.






7. 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






8. At an angle of 90






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






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






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






12. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






13. To add explanatory notes to.






14. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






16. Occupying the same area in space.






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






18. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






20. 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






21. Attach or position securely.






22. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






24. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






25. 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.






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






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






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






29. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






31. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






33. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






35. 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.






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






37. 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.






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






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






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






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






42. Make larger in area.






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






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






45. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






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






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






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