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






2. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






12. At an angle of 90






13. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






23. 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






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






25. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






26. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






28. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






37. 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.






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






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






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






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






42. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






43. Designed to be practical and useful.






44. 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






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






46. Parallel to the Y axis.






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. Attach or position securely.






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






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