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 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






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






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






4. Lying in the same straight line.






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






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






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






8. 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.






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






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






11. 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






12. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






15. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






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






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






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






21. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






24. The distance from front to back.






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






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






27. 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.






28. 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






29. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






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






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






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






35. Attach or position securely.






36. Occupying the same area in space.






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






38. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






46. 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.






47. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






48. Designed to be practical and useful.






49. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






50. Circles or arcs that share the same center.
