What are the main elements to a design brief? | Client, Target Customer, Designer, Problem Statement, Design Statement, Criteria, Constraints |
Name of the view when you look at an object from a single, straight on view? | Orthographic |
What is the difference between precision and accuracy? | Precision is consistent values whereas accuracy is how close you are to the target value. |
Why is it important to collect mathematical data on a product or object you create? | The collected data can be used to make necessary adjustments to the created object. |
What are the four guidelines for selecting the front view of an object? | 1.) Shows the longest dimension 2.) Shows the best shape and characteristic contours 3.) Hides the fewest (hidden) edges and features 4.) Displays the most stable and natural position |
Why is it important to shade an isometric sketch? | Makes the sketch more realistic |
When creating a multiview drawing of an object, what views are typically shown? Where are they placed? | Top Isometric Front Right Side |
