Question 1

What type of conversions are made by using a mathematical formula to change a value of one system (e.g., 1'') to the equivalent value in another system (e.g., 25.4 mm)?&#10;A) base conversions&#10;B) hard conversions&#10;C) IRC conversions&#10;D) soft conversions

Accepted Answer

Hard conversions involve using a mathematical formula to change a value in one measurement system to its equivalent in another system, such as converting inches to millimeters.

Question 2

What size is a piece of rough lumber that is one board foot?&#10;A) 6&#34; long x 2&#34; wide x 1&#34; thick&#10;B) 12&#34; long x 12&#34; wide x 1&#34; thick&#10;C) 12&#34; long x 12&#34; wide x 2&#34; thick&#10;D) 12&#34; long x 12&#34; wide x 12&#34; thick

Accepted Answer

A board foot is a volume measurement used in lumber, defined as 12 inches long by 12 inches wide by 1 inch thick.

Question 3

The key to completing an isometric projection is the placement of the object in the glass cube so that the sides of the object are parallel to the sides of the cube.

Accepted Answer

In an isometric projection, the object is placed such that its sides are at equal angles (120 degrees) to the projection plane, not parallel to the sides of the cube.

Question 4

What type of scales are used for drawing and verifying measurements on land-related drawings such as site plans, maps, or subdivision plats?&#10;A) civil engineering&#10;B) architect's&#10;C) metric&#10;D) plastic

Accepted Answer

Civil engineering scales are specifically designed for land-related drawings such as site plans, maps, or subdivision plats, and are commonly used in the construction and engineering industries. Architect's scales are more suitable for building plans and designs, while metric scales are used for measurements in the metric system. Plastic scales are simply a material choice and do not determine the type of scale or its purpose.

Question 5

When forming an isometric drawing, all horizontal planes are represented by a 40 angle, and vertical lines represent all vertical planes.

Accepted Answer

In isometric drawing, horizontal planes are represented by lines at 30 degrees to the horizontal, not 40 degrees, and vertical lines do indeed represent vertical planes.

Question 6

Isometric sketches are representations that display the objects much as they appear to the eye.

Accepted Answer

Isometric sketches are a type of 3D drawing that shows how an object appears to the eye from different angles. They display the object in a way that is more realistic than a flat 2D drawing.

Question 7

The term scale refers to using a ratio to reduce or enlarge the size of a drawing for plotting.

Accepted Answer

This is a correct definition of the term scale in the context of drawing or plotting.

Question 8

A triangular architect's scale typically contains ____ different scales.&#10;A) six&#10;B) seven&#10;C) eleven&#10;D) twelve

Accepted Answer

The answer of A triangular architect's scale typically contains ____...

Question 9

What should you do when developing sketches?&#10;A) Grip the pencil less than 1&#34; from the pointed end.&#10;B) Create circles to frame square boxes.&#10;C) Draw horizontal lines from right to left if you are right-handed.&#10;D) Draw vertical lines from top to bottom using short, light, overlapping strokes.

Accepted Answer

When developing sketches, it is best to draw vertical lines from top to bottom using short, light, overlapping strokes. This technique allows for more control and precision in the sketching process. Option A is incorrect because gripping the pencil too close to the tip can lead to less control and more mistakes. Option B is not necessarily needed for all sketches and can create unnecessary constraints. Option C is not a rule for all right-handed individuals and can be difficult to implement in certain situations.

Question 10

In what year did federal law mandate the metric system as the preferred system of measurement for the United States?&#10;A) 1978&#10;B) 1982&#10;C) 1988&#10;D) 1999

Accepted Answer

The Metric Conversion Act of 1975 was amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, which designated the metric system as the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce.

Question 11

Which scale is recommended for drawing interior elevations and simple building sections that do not require large amounts of detailing?&#10;A) 3/32'' = 1'-0'&#10;B) 3/8'' = 1'-0''&#10;C) 1/8'' = 1'-0''&#10;D) 3/16'' = 1'-0''

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which scale is recommended for drawing interior...

Question 12

What type of conversions change a value from one system (e.g. 1'') to a rounded value in another system (e.g., 25 mm)?&#10;A) base conversions&#10;B) hard conversions&#10;C) IRC conversions&#10;D) soft conversions

Accepted Answer

The answer of What type of conversions change a value...

Question 13

Isometric drawings are primarily used in _____ drawings.&#10;A) foundation and grading&#10;B) exterior and landscape&#10;C) floor and ceiling&#10;D) cabinet and plumbing

Accepted Answer

The answer of Isometric drawings are primarily used in _____...

Question 14

A(n) ____ projection shows only one side of an object.&#10;A) orthographic&#10;B) isometric&#10;C) angle&#10;D) grading

Accepted Answer

The answer of A(n) ____ projection shows only one side...

Question 15

A circle in an isometric sketch will appear as an ellipse.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A circle in an isometric sketch will...
