Sketching DM 1.2

A precision measuring device used to measure linear dimensions, thickness, or diameter.

• Dial Caliper

• Mechanical Dissection

• Precision

• Unit

A sketch in which an object's parallel edges are drawn with parallel lines, typically at 30-degree angles to the horizontal baseline. There are no vanishing points and three sides of the object can be seen simultaneously.

• Multiview Sketch

• Isometric Sketch

• Thumbnail Sketch

• Perspective Sketch

A sketch typically including three primary views of an object that are drawn using orthographic projections. The top, front, and right primary views of the object are projected onto a drawing plane perpendicular to each view. An isometric sketch of the object is often included.

• Isometric Sketch

• Mechanical Dissection

• Multiview Sketch

• Orthographic Projection

The degree to which the correctness of a quantity is expressed.

• Surface Area

• Dimension

• Dial Caliper

• Precision

A preliminary visual of a possible idea for a design. Most thumbnail sketches are not full size and have little detail. Their purpose is to help quickly explore possible alternative designs.

• Surface Area

• Thumbnail Sketch

• Isometric Sketch

• Dimension

Measurement in height, width, and depth.
