visualization ✔️✔️ability to mental control visual information
steps of the engineering design process ✔️✔️problem definition
exploration of ideas
design
analysis
refinement and optimization
implementation
Graphics theory ✔️✔️geometry and projection techniques
tools ✔️✔️devices used to create drawings
applications ✔️✔️various uses for technical graphics in engineering design
standard ✔️✔️formal document that institutes a uniform method to perform action or defines a
criterion for a product
convention ✔️✔️methods and criteria used to extensively they become dominant and generally
accepted and adopted by the pubic
what organization commonly regulates engineering standards ✔️✔️ANSI (American National
Standards Institute
what set of standards do we use in the United States ✔️✔️Y series ANSI
what style of engineering lettering do we use in this course ✔️✔️Single Stroke Gothic, only capital
letters are used
,what should the height of each letter be when we are lettering? Numerals? ✔️✔️1/8th" for both
letters and numerals
what height should fractions be lettered at? ✔️✔️Twice normal letter height(1/8"), but the numerator
and denominator should be less than 1/8th" to make room for vinculum (diving line between numerator
and denominator)
Sketching is a form of ________ ✔️✔️Communication
Artistic drawings ✔️✔️concerned with colors, forms, composition, and other elements that affect the
sense of beauty
technical drawings ✔️✔️communicate technical information, capturing details necessary for
production or modification
what should be the first step of any design? ✔️✔️sketching
sketching techniques ✔️✔️- use light construction lines
- box in rough outline of the object
-darken only the lines you wish to keep
- clean up edges and rough spots.
sketching lines ✔️✔️- keep your eye on the endpoint
- if necessary, break long lines into shorter segments by marking the midpoint
- make quick light strokes initially
- darken only the lines you want
sketching circles/ellipses ✔️✔️- break large arcs/circle into smaller segments
- sketch a light square or rectangle around circle
, - lightly sketch in diagonals
- mark contact points with square and circle
- rotate the paper for each segment
what is BIM? ✔️✔️Building Information Modeling is a digital representation of physical and functional
characteristics of a facility.
A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for
decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.
what kind of Software is Civil 3d ✔️✔️BIM software
it allows us to organize, design, and adapt throughout the design process for a Road, Bridge,
property etc.
work flow in civil 3d ✔️✔️flows from left to right
- draw an object
- modify
- annotate
- save it as a block
how can commands be accessed in civil 3d? ✔️✔️command ribbon OR typed onto the command line
how do you quickly access your last used command in civil 3d ✔️✔️right click
civil 3d: toolspace ✔️✔️allows the user to manage objects, settings, and styles
four tabs within toolspace ✔️✔️- prospector
- settings
