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 Y axis.






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






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






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






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






6. To add explanatory notes to.






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






8. 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.






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






10. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






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






14. 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.






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






16. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






17. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






19. 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






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






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






22. Attach or position securely.






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






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






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






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






27. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






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






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






31. 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.






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






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






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






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






36. Occupying the same area in space.






37. 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






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






39. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






41. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






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






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






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






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






48. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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