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






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






3. 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






4. At an angle of 90






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






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






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






8. Parallel to the X axis.






9. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






12. 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.






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






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






15. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






16. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






17. Occupying the same area in space.






18. 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.






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






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






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






22. The distance from front to back.






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






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






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






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






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






28. Lying in the same straight line.






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






30. 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






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






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






34. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






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






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






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






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






40. 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






41. Designed to be practical and useful.






42. To add explanatory notes to.






43. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






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






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






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






49. Parallel to the Y axis.






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