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. At an angle of 90






2. Parallel to the Y axis.






3. Circles or arcs that share the same center.






4. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






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






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






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






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






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






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






11. A small angled surface formed between two surfaces.






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






13. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






15. Occupying the same area in space.






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






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






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






19. Turning around an axis or center point.






20. Parallel to the X axis.






21. To add explanatory notes to.






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






23. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






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






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






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






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






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






30. Designed to be practical and useful.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






40. 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.






41. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






49. Lying in the same straight line.






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