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






2. Occupying the same area in space.






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






4. Attach or position securely.






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






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






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






8. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






15. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






16. To add explanatory notes to.






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






18. 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.






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






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






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






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






23. 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.






24. Make larger in area.






25. 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






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






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






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






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






30. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






33. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






34. Turning around an axis or center point.






35. Designed to be practical and useful.






36. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






37. Lying in the same straight line.






38. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






41. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






42. 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






43. 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.






44. 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.






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






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






47. At an angle of 90






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






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






50. Parallel to the X axis.
