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 - width - and depth.






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






3. Occupying the same area in space.






4. 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.






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






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






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






9. 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






10. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






11. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






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






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






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






17. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






18. Make larger in area.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. Turning around an axis or center point.






30. At an angle of 90






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






39. The distance from front to back.






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






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






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






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






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






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






46. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






49. 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






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