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. Dimensions that show the exact location of parts of an object.






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






3. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






4. The distance from front to back.






5. 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






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






7. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






10. Attach or position securely.






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






12. 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.






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






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






15. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






16. 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.






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






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






19. Turning around an axis or center point.






20. To add explanatory notes to.






21. 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.






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






23. Make larger in area.






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






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






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






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






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






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






30. Lying in the same straight line.






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






32. Occupying the same area in space.






33. 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.






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






35. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






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






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






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






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






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






42. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






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






46. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






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






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






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