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






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






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






4. At an angle of 90






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






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






7. Parallel to the X axis.






8. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






9. Turning around an axis or center point.






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






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






12. A distinctive attribute or aspect.






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






14. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






15. The distance from front to back.






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






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






18. Occupying the same area in space.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. Designed to be practical and useful.






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. Make larger in area.






29. Parallel to the Y axis.






30. 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.






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






32. 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.






33. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






35. 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






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






37. 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.






38. Attach or position securely.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






48. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






49. 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






50. Lying in the same straight line.
