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






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






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






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






5. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






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






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






9. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






12. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






13. At an angle of 90






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






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






16. Occupying the same area in space.






17. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






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






30. 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.






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






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






33. The distance from front to back.






34. 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.






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






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






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






38. 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.






39. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






41. Turning around an axis or center point.






42. 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






43. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






46. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






48. 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






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






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