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. 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.






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






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






4. Designed to be practical and useful.






5. 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






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






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






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






9. 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.






10. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






11. 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.






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






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






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






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






16. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






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






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






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






21. The distance from front to back.






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






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






24. 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






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






26. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






27. 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






28. Attach or position securely.






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






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






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






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






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






34. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






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






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






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






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






40. 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.






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






42. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






43. Parallel to the X axis.






44. At an angle of 90






45. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






47. Parallel to the Y axis.






48. Make larger in area.






49. Occupying the same area in space.






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