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






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






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






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






5. 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






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






7. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






8. 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.






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






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






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






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






13. Designed to be practical and useful.






14. Parallel to the X axis.






15. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






17. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






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






21. Make larger in area.






22. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






25. Lying in the same straight line.






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






27. At an angle of 90






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






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






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






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






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






33. 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.






34. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






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






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






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






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






40. 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






41. Attach or position securely.






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






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






44. 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






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






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






47. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






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






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