Answer 11

An isometric drawing is a type of pictorial drawing that gives an impression of a three-dimensional object.

Question 12

What is an Isometric drawing used for?

Answer 12

Question 13

What are the three principal dimensions of an object?

Answer 13

Width, Height, and Depth

Question 14

Width

Answer 14

the distance across the front of an object

Question 15

Height

Answer 15

the distance from the bottom to the top of an object

Question 16

Depth

Answer 16

the distance from an object’s front to its back

Question 17

How do you sketch horizontal lines correctly?

Answer 17

Place points and always draw from the left point to the right point

Question 18

How do you sketch vertical lines correctly?

Answer 18

Place points and always draw from the top point to the bottom point

Question 19

What should you do to ensure the line’s smoothness and straightness?

Answer 19

Add more points

Question 20

How do you sketch arcs correctly?

Answer 20

Sketch the straight lines to intersect. Mark the starting and ending ticks at the same distance of each line. Make a line between both ticks which creates a triangle. Place a mark (cross) in the center of the triangle, and then sketch the arc. (Remove any unnecessary lines)

Question 21

How do you sketch arcs to lines correctly?

Answer 21

Sketch the straight lines to intersect. Mark the starting and ending ticks at the same distance of each line. Make a line above both ticks, creating a triangle. Place a center point mark (cross) in the center of the triangle, and then sketch the arc (Remove the unnecessary lines)

Question 22

How do you sketch arcs to arcs correctly?

Answer 22

Sketch the straight lines to intersect from the end points of the arcs. Mark the starting and ending ticks at the same distance of each line. Make a line between both ticks, creating a triangle. Place a center point mark (cross) in the center of the triangle, and then sketch the arc (Remove the unnecessary lines)

Question 23

How do you sketch circles correctly?

Answer 23

Create a center point and sketch a vertical & horizontal line to each of their points around the center. Put ticks on each line at the same distance. Lightly sketch lines through each tick to make a square. Draw a diagonal lines between each mini square. Make center points (cross) in the outer triangle of each min square. Sketch your circle. (Remove the unnecessary lines)

Question 24

What is a view?

Answer 24

A view is a position from which an object can be seen.

Question 25

How many standard views would a multi view drawing have?

Answer 25

As many as six view. Front, Top, Right side, rear, bottom, and left side.

Question 26

What can a multi view drawing with multiple angles be called?

Answer 26

Third-Angle Projection

Question 27

What is the Glassbox method?

Answer 27

The Glassbox method is used to visualize an object in a glass box to show all of its visible sides.

Question 28

What is the Glassbox method used for?

Answer 28

The Glassbox method is used to visualize how an object would be drawn in a multi-view drawing.

Question 29

What is important when working with the Glassbox method?

Answer 29

Alignment, and unfolding each side like a paper dice

Question 30

What is the Alphabet of Lines?

Answer 30

The Alphabet of Lines is a set of line types that are used on a print to represent a physical object.

Question 31

What are some of the most common lines?

Answer 31

Object, Hidden, Center, Dimension & Extension, and Section Lines

Question 32

What are the three lines used to create a multi-view drawing?

Answer 32

Object, Hidden, and Center Lines

Question 33

What is an Object line?

Answer 33

Object lines are solid lines used to show the size and shape of an object.

Question 34

What is a Hidden line?

Answer 34

Hidden lines are dashed lines that are used to represent features that may be hidden in a particular view.

Question 35

What is a Center line?

Answer 35

Center lines are alternating dashes (One long dash followed by one short dash) that are used to show symmetry. It indicates that an object is being split in half.

Question 36

What is the function of Line Precedence?

Answer 36

Line Precedence is used to specify which type of line should be used when two lines overlap in a view.

Question 37

In which order would you give these lines below priority? - Center lines - Object lines - Hidden lines

Answer 37

First, Object lines. Second, Hidden lines. Third, Center lines.
