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






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






3. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






6. Make larger in area.






7. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






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. Attach or position securely.






11. At an angle of 90






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






21. 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






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






23. 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.






24. The distance from front to back.






25. 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






26. Designed to be practical and useful.






27. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






30. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






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






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






34. 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.






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






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






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






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






39. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






40. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






42. Lying in the same straight line.






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






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






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






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






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






48. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






49. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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