Roof plan
- D.
Horizontal section
- 2.What characterizes an isometric drawing?
- A.
All axes are drawn to the same scale.
- B.
A three-dimensional view can easily be created by tilting a floor plan and extending vertical lines.
- C.
Lines of projection are perpendicular to the picture plane.
- D.
The views shows a cut about 5 ft above the floor
- 3.Orthographic drawings are unreal views of objects primarily because

- A.
Standard point
- B.
Secondary point
- C.
Side plane

- D.
A metric scale
- 8.A quick-sketch perspective drawing could most easily be make by
- A.
Employing a computer model
- B.
Potting the perspective
- C.
Tracing over a model photograph
- D.
Using a perspective grid
- 9.The most accurate representation of materials can best be shown with
- A.
Computer renderings
- B.
Full-size mockups
- C.
Presentation models
- D.
Study models
- 10.The primary advantage of an oblique drawing is that
- A.
It shows the most realistic view of an object
- B.
All three axes are drawn at the same time
- C.
Exiting orthographic drawings can be used as a starting point
- D.
It shows foreshortened lines and planes accurately
- 11.What type of scale is the ration of a measuring unit to the full-size item it represents?
- 12.This is a drafting instrument that facilitates making and reading scaled drawings when doing manual drafting
- 13.This scale uses fractions of and inch to represent feet and inches.
- 14.This scale is used when a project is planned and represented with SI units.
- 15.This scale indicates feet and fractions of a foot and uses scales such as 1 in = 40 ft.
- 16.These drawings use projection to enable a three dimensional object to be seen in two dimensions.
- 17.This is an orthographic view of an object as seen from directly above.
- 18.This is the horizontal cut made though a building about 5ft about the floor and the portion is removed.
- 19.This is a view of a building seen from above with out the section cut.
- 20.This is an orthographic view of the ceiling of a room or building as though there were a mirror on the floor and a viewer could see through the roof to the ceiling
- 21.This is the orthographic view of the side of an object.
- 22.This is the orthographic view of an object after the object has been cut and one portion has been removed.
- 23.This is a view of an object inclined to the picture plane in such a way that the three principal axes are foreshortened.
- 24.This is a three dimensional view of an object where the object is tilted in relationship to a picture plane.
- 25.This is where two of the principle axes are equally foreshortened.
