Term
Graphic Scale
Definition

The ratio of measuring unit to the full-size item it represents. 

 

For example, stating that something is drawn at 1/4" scale or 1/4"=1', means that one quarter of an inh on paper represents exactly one foot of actual size.

Term
Orthrographic Drawings
Definition
This uses projection to enable a three-dimensional object to be seen in two dimensions.  they are ideal for communication in the flat world of paper and computer screens because, by using multiple views, even the most complex objects can be accurately and completely described
Term
Section
Definition
An Orthographic view of an object after the object has been cut and one portion has been removed.  This may be a view through an entire building or through a very small ortion of construction, like the front edge of a countertop.
Term
Axonometric Drawing
Definition

A view of an object inclined to the picture plane in such a way that the three principal axes are foreshortened.  There are three types of this type of drawing: isometric, dimetric and trimetric

Term
Isometric Drawing
Definition

A three dimensional view of an object where the object is tilted in relationship to a picture plane.

Term
Dimetric Drawing
Definition
With isometric drawing, the lines of projection make equal angles with the picture plane.  With a __________ drawing, one of the other two types of axonometric drawings, two of the principal axes are equally foreshortened.
Term
Trimetric Drawing
Definition
All three of the principal axes are foreshortened in this axonometric view
Term
Oblique Drawings
Definition
A three-dimensional view of an object where one plane of the object is parallel to the picture plane while the third axis is oblique to the picture plane.
Term
Perspective Drawings
Definition
Of all the methods used to draw objects, ____________drawings give the most accurate two-dimensional world.  This is because they use the principal of convergence, which is the apparent diminishing size of objects as they get farther from the eye.
Term
What is a drawing that shows a top view of a building and it's surroundings?
Definition

A) Floorplan

B) Site Plan

C) Roof Plan

D) Horizontal section

Term
What characterizes an isometric drawing?
Definition

A)The view shows a cut about 5 ft above the floor

B) All Axes are drawn to the same scale

C) A three-dimensional view can easily be created by tilting a floor pla and extending vertical lines

D)Lines of projection are perpendicular to the picture plane

Term
Orthographic drawings are unreal views of objects primarily because
Definition

A) More than one is required to describe an object

B) The point of view is directly in front of every location on the object

C)A transparent plane has to be imagined

D) Some planes may be foreshortened

Term
What does SP in perspective mean?
Definition

A) Standard Perspective

B) Station Point

C) Secondary Point

D) Side Point

Term
A perspective is the best drawing type to use when persenting to a client because it
Definition

A) is the quickest method of rendering space

B) most accurately shows vertical dimensions relative to the viewer

C) is most like the way space and objects are perceived

D) offers the widest choice of view points

Term
Which of the following scales should NEVER be used for interior design construction drawings?
Definition

A) 1/8"=1'-0"

B) 3/16"=1'-0"

C) 3/4"=1'-0"

D) 1"=1'-0"

Term
When creating a drawing that will be used for reproduction in a magazine, it is best to use
Definition

A) an architect's scale

B) an engineer's scale

C) a graphic scale

D) a metric scale

 

Term
A quick-sketch perspective drawing could most easily be made by
Definition

A) employing a computer model

B) plotting the perspective

C) tracing over a model photograph

D) using a perspective grid

Term
The most accurate representation of materials can be best shown with
Definition

A) computer renderings

B) full-size mockups

C) presentation models

D) study models

Term
The primary advantage of oblique drawings is that
Definition

A) it shows the most realistic view of an object

B) all three axes are drawn at the same scale

C) existing orthographic drawings can be used as a starting point

D) it shows foreshortened lines and planes accurately
