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






2. Occupying the same area in space.






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






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






5. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






12. 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






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






14. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






15. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






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






19. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






20. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






21. 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.






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






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






24. 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






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






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






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






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






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






30. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






38. Parallel to the X axis.






39. 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






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






41. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






43. Make larger in area.






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






45. The distance from front to back.






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






47. Designed to be practical and useful.






48. Lying in the same straight line.






49. At an angle of 90






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