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






2. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






3. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






5. 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.






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






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






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






9. Make larger in area.






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






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






12. 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






13. 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.






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






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






16. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






23. Occupying the same area in space.






24. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






25. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






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






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






30. 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.






31. 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






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






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






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






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






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






37. 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.






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






39. Attach or position securely.






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






41. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






44. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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






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






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






49. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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