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 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






2. Occupying the same area in space.






3. Make larger in area.






4. 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






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






7. At an angle of 90






8. To add explanatory notes to.






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






10. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






18. Lying in the same straight line.






19. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






21. 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






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






23. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






25. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






27. 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.






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






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






30. The distance from front to back.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






41. Turning around an axis or center point.






42. 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.






43. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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