NCCER Module 5 Terms

3. A(n) xxxx is a qualified, licensed person who creates and designs drawings for a construction project.

Architect

29. The triangular and flat scales ar the two most common types of xxxxxx.

Architect's scale

4. xxxxx, which show the design of the project, include many parts, such as the floor plan, roof plan, elevation drawings, and section drawings.

Architectural plans

12. A large, horizontal support made of concrete, steel, stone, or wood that may be shown in structural plans is a xxxxx

Beam

34. Xxxx are the traditional name for construction drawings.

Blueprint

6. Also called site plans or survey plans, xxxxxx show the location of the building from an aerial view, as well as the natural contours of the earth.

Civil plans

7. Almost all construction drawings today are made by xxxxxx

Computer-aided drafting (CAD)

8. xxxxxxx are solid or dashed lines showing the elevation of the earth on a civil drawing.

Contour lines

9. Xxxxxxx are enlarged views of some special features of a building, such as floors and walls.

Detail drawings

2. A(n) xxxxxx usually has an arrowhead at both ends, with the measurement written near the middle of the line.

Dimension line

11. xxxxx , or engineered drawings for electrical supply and distribution, include locations of the electric meter, switchgear, and convenience outlets.

Electrical plans

14. An element of architectural drawings, xxxx refers to the height above sea level or other defined surface.

Elevation

1. A(n) xxxxxxx is a side view that shows height

Elevation Drawing

10. A(n) xxxxxx is a person who applies scientific principles in design and construction.

Engineer

36. A(n) xxxxx is used mainly for land measurements on site plans.

Engineer's scale

35. The drawing that makes up a building's piping, valves, and switches is a(n) xxxxxx

Fire protection plans

16. Also called a plan view, a(n). xxxx an aerial view of the layout of each room.

Floor plan

18. Part of the structural plans, the xxxx shows the lowest level of the building.

Foundation plan

21. An) xxxx is a dashed line on a plan showing an object obstructed from view by another object.

Hidden line

24. In drafting, an arrowhead is placed on a(n)xxxx to identify a component.

Leader

26. The xxxxxx defines the symbols used in architectural plans.

Legend

27. xxxxx are engineered plans for motors, equipment. pumps, piping, and systems.

Mechanical plans

23. The meter and millimeter are two common length measurements used with the xxxxx on architectural drawings

Metric scale

20. When a plan is marked xxxx, it means that the drawing gives approximate positions and sizes only.

Not to scale (NTS)

13. Schematic drawings called xxxx show all the equipment, pipelines, valves, instruments, and controls needed to operate a piping system.

Piping and instrumentation drawings

19. Plans for gas, oil, or steam heat piping may be included in the xxxx plan.

Plumbing

22. A(n)xxxxx is a type of three dimensional drawing that is included in a plumbing plan.

Plumbing isometric drawing

32. Xxxx show the layout for the plumbing system that supplies hot and cold water, for the sewage disposal system, and fo the location of plumbing fixtures.

Plumbing plans

30. A(n) xxxx shows the shape of the roof and the materials that will be used to finish it.

Roof plans

31. The xxxx of a drawing tells the size of the object drawn compared with the actual size of the object represented.

Scale

17. A(n) xxxx is a one-line drawing showing the flow path for electrical circuitry or the relationship of all parts of a system.

Schematic

28. A(n). xxxx is a cross-sectional view that shows the inside of an object or building.

Section drawing

25. Xxxxxx are written statements provided by the architectural and engineering firm to define the quality of work to be done and to describe the materials to be used.

Specifications

5. Xxxx support the architectural design of a building to show how the building is supported. A foundation plan would be part of this category.

Structural plans

15. Architectural, civil and structural engineering, mechanical, and plumbing xxxx may be used on a drawing to tell what material is required for that part of the project.

Symbol

33. Part of the construction drawing, the gives information about the structure and is numbered for easy filing.
