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. Attach or position securely.






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






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






4. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






5. To add explanatory notes to.






6. At an angle of 90






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






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






9. 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.






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






11. 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.






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






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






14. A rounded interior blend between two surfaces. Some uses are to strengthen joining surfaces or to allow a part to be removed from a mold.






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






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






17. The surface that 2D profiles can be sketched on.






18. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






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






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






22. The distance from front to back.






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






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






25. Lying in the same straight line.






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






27. Make larger in area.






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






29. Parallel to the Y axis.






30. 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






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






32. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






33. Occupying the same area in space.






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






35. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






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






38. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






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






41. 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






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






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. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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