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






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






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






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






6. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






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






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






11. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






21. Attach or position securely.






22. At an angle of 90






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






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






25. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






26. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






34. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






35. Parallel to the X axis.






36. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






39. 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






40. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






42. Parallel to the Y axis.






43. 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






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






45. 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.






46. 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






47. Make larger in area.






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






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






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