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






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






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






5. Make larger in area.






6. 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






7. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






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






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






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






13. Designed to be practical and useful.






14. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






16. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






17. To add explanatory notes to.






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






19. 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.






20. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






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






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






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






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






26. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






28. Turning around an axis or center point.






29. Lying in the same straight line.






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






31. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






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






34. 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






35. The distance from front to back.






36. Occupying the same area in space.






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






38. Attach or position securely.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






49. 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.






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