| Ribbon | A user interface element that combines the menu bar and toolbar functions as a single floating pane. |
| Panel | A small temporary window in a graphical user interface that contains a tool palette group of commands. |
| Unidirectional System | A system of dimensioning in which all the dimensions read from the bottom of the sheet, no matter where they appear on the drawing. |
| Aligned System | A system of dimensioning in which the dimensions are placed in line with the dimension lines. |
| Dimension Line | A thin line in a dimension that shows where a measurement begins and where it ends, or that shows the size of an angle. |
| Extension Line | Thin lines in a dimension that extend the lines or edges of the views to the dimension line |
| Blind Hole | a hole that does not go all the way through a piece. |
| Counterbore | To make a hole deeper and wider. |

| Datum | A point, line, or surface that is assumed to be exact, and from which other dimensions can be computed or located. |
| Nominal Size | The dimensions of lumber before the wood has been surfaced, or prepared for use. |
| Allowance | The smallest space permitted between mating parts. |
| Assembly Drawing | A drawing, usually three-dimensional, that showing part or the entire assembled machine or structure put together in their relative positions. |
| Detail Drawing | A drawing for a single part that includes all the dimensions, notes, and information needed to make the part. |
| Blueprinting | A method of reproducing drawings that uses light and sensitized paper. |
| Fillet | A rounded inside corner on a casting. |
| Round | A rounded outside corner on a casting; an exterior rounded intersection of two surfaces. |
| Chamfer | A narrow inclined surface along the intersection of two surfaces; to bevel an edge that has been beveled. |
| Miter | A surface slanted to another surface when the angle is 45°. |
| Bevel | An inclined edge, not at a right angle to the adjoining surface. |
| Compression | A force that squeezes a material together. When a material is in compression, it tends to become shorter. |
| Tension | Tension is a force that stretches a material apart. When a material is in tension, it tends to become longer. |
| Bending | When a straight material becomes curved, one side squeezes together and the other side stretches apart. |
| Shear | Shear is a force that causes parts of a material to slide past one another in opposite directions. |
| Torsion | Torsion is an action that twists a material. |
| Square: push | Push It:The rectangle is a wobbly, unstable shape. When you push the side, it flops into a slanted parallelogram. This happens without any of the rectangle's sides changing length. |
| Square: Strengthen | Strengthen It:Now when you push the side, the diagonal brace gets squeezed, preventing the rectangle from flopping over. |
| Arch: Push | Push It:The force of the finger pushes the sides of the arch outward. |
| Arch: Strengthen it | As the arch tries to spread outward, external supports, called buttresses, push back on the sides of the arch and prevent it from spreading apart. |
| Triangle: push it | The outer edge squeezes together, and the inner edge pulls apart. When one side experiences these two forces at the same time, it bends.The weakest part of the triangle is its side! |
| Triangle strongest point | When you poke the top of the triangle, the two sides squeeze together and the bottom side pulls apart. The triangle doesn't bend because each side experiences only one force at a time. the most stable and rigid shapes used in construction today |
| Dead Load | The weight of the structure itself is called the dead load. Anything permanently attached to the structure is part of its dead load -- including the columns, beams, nuts, and bolts. |
| Live Load | The weight of the stuff on the structure is called the live load. Things that move around in or on a structure, like people, furniture, and cars |
| Dynamic Load | :Loads that change over time are called dynamic loads. Dynamic loads -- from wind gusts to pounding objects -- create vibrations that can become bigger and more dangerous over time. |
| Wind Load | When wind blows on a structure, it is called wind load. |
| Thermal Load | When a structure expands or shrinks with the temperature,it is experiencing thermal load. The temperature causes the beams and columns to change shape and push and pull on other parts of the structure. |
| Earthquake Load | When the ground beneath a structure jerks back and forth during an earthquake, the structure is experiencing an earthquake, or seismic load. |
| Settlement Load | :When the soil beneath a structure settles unevenly, it is called settlement load. Structures will sink and change shape when they experience settlement load. |
| What Is Design? | The word “design” is often used as a generic term that refers to anything that was made by a conscious human effort. |
| Design Process | Identify problems and opportunities Frame a design brief Investigate and research Generate alternative solutions Choose a solution Developmental work Model and prototype Test and evaluate Redesign and improve |
| Design Brief | A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its constraints. Used to encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution. |
