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. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






4. Turning around an axis or center point.






5. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






6. 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.






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






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






9. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






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






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






13. 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.






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






15. At an angle of 90






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






17. Parallel to the Y axis.






18. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






21. The distance from front to back.






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






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






24. 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






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






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






27. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






29. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






30. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






32. 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






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






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






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






36. Designed to be practical and useful.






37. Make larger in area.






38. Attach or position securely.






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






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. Occupying the same area in space.






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






43. 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






44. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






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






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






49. 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.






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