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






2. 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.






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






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






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






6. 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






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






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






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






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






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






12. Make larger in area.






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






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






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






16. Lying in the same straight line.






17. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






28. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






30. Turning around an axis or center point.






31. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






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






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






36. 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






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






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






39. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






41. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






43. Parallel to the X axis.






44. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






47. 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.






48. Attach or position securely.






49. 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.






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