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. Make larger in area.






2. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






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






6. At an angle of 90






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






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






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






18. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






19. 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






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






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






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






23. 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.






24. 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






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






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






27. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






30. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






32. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






34. The distance from front to back.






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






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






37. Occupying the same area in space.






38. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






41. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






42. 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.






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






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






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






46. 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






47. 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.






48. 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






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






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