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






2. Designed to be practical and useful.






3. 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






4. Lying in the same straight line.






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






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






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






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






9. 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.






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






11. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.






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






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






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






15. Explanatory notes added to a drawing.






16. To add explanatory notes to.






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






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






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






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






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






22. The distance from front to back.






23. 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.






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






25. Parallel to the Y axis.






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






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






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






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






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






31. Occupying the same area in space.






32. Cut off irregular or unwanted parts.






33. 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






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






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






36. Make larger in area.






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






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






39. At an angle of 90






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






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






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






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






44. Construct or manufacture an industrial product.






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






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






47. 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






48. Parallel to the X axis.






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






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