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






3. 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






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






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






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






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






8. To add explanatory notes to.






9. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






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






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






12. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






14. Make larger in area.






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






16. At an angle of 90






17. 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.






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






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






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






21. 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.






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






23. The distance from front to back.






24. Lying in the same straight line.






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






26. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






39. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






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






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






44. 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






45. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






48. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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