22.How do you create sections in AutoCAD?
Ans: Think of cutting a cake to see the inside layers. You use a section plane in AutoCAD to “cut” through a 3D model and reveal its internal structure.
ভিতরের স্তরগুলি দেখতে কেক কাটার কথা চিন্তা করুন। আপনি একটি 3D মডেলকে “কাটা” করতে এবং এর অভ্যন্তরীণ কাঠামো প্রকাশ করতে অটোক্যাডে একটি সেকশন প্লেন ব্যবহার করেন।

27.What does “orbiting” mean in 3D modeling and navigation?

your screen to inspect different angles.
এটি সমস্ত দিক থেকে দেখার জন্য একটি মূর্তির চারপাশে হাঁটার মতো। আপনি বিভিন্ন কোণ পরিদর্শন করতে আপনার স্ক্রিনে 3D মডেলটি ঘোরান।

Ans: Think of it as a compass. UCSICON shows you the direction you’re “looking” at in the 3D space, helping you navigate and edit your model accurately.
এটিকে কম্পাস হিসাবে ভাবুন। UCSICON আপনাকে 3D স্পেসে আপনি যে দিকে “তাকাচ্ছেন” তা দেখায়, আপনাকে সঠিকভাবে আপনার মডেলটি নেভিগেট এবং সম্পাদনা করতে সহায়তা করে।
29.What is the usefulness of viewports?
Ans: Divide the drawing area into multiple views, each displaying a different portion of the model or different views (plan, elevation, section).
অঙ্কন এলাকাটিকে একাধিক ভিউতে ভাগ করুন, প্রতিটি মডেলের বিভিন্ন অংশ বা বিভিন্ন ভিউ (পরিকল্পনা, উচ্চতা, বিভাগ) প্রদর্শন করে।
30.Write the abbreviation of FAR.
Ans: FAR: Floor Area Ratio, a planning and zoning measure that regulates building density.
FAR: ফ্লোর এরিয়া অনুপাত, একটি পরিকল্পনা এবং অঞ্চলবিভাজন পরিমাপ যা বিল্ডিং ঘনত্বকে নিয়ন্ত্রণ করে।

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. This software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing. Designs made through CAD software help protect products and inventions when used in patent applications. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations. The terms computer-aided drafting (CAD) and computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) are also used.
Its use in designing electronic systems is known as electronic design automation (EDA). In mechanical design it is known as mechanical design automation (MDA), which includes the process of creating a technical drawing with the use of computer software.
CAD software for mechanical design uses either vector-based graphics to depict the objects of traditional drafting, or may also produce raster graphics showing the overall appearance of designed objects. However, it involves more than just shapes. As in the manual drafting of technical and engineering drawings, the output of CAD must convey information, such as materials, processes, dimensions, and tolerances, according to application-specific conventions.
CAD may be used to design curves and figures in two-dimensional (2D) space; or curves, surfaces, and solids in three-dimensional (3D) space.
CAD is an important industrial art extensively used in many applications, including automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, industrial and architectural design (building information modeling), prosthetics, and many more. CAD is also widely used to produce computer animation for special effects in movies, advertising and technical manuals, often called DCC digital content creation. The modern ubiquity and power of computers means that even perfume bottles and shampoo dispensers are designed using techniques unheard of by engineers of the 1960s. Because of its enormous economic importance, CAD has been a major driving force for research in computational geometry, computer graphics (both hardware and software), and discrete differential geometry.
The design of geometric models for object shapes, in particular, is occasionally called computer-aided geometric design (CAGD).
Computer-aided design is one of the many tools used by engineers and designers and is used in many ways depending on the profession of the user and the type of software in question.
CAD is one part of the whole digital product development (DPD) activity within the product lifecycle management (PLM) processes, and as such is used together with other tools, which are either integrated modules or stand-alone products, such as:
CAD is also used for the accurate creation of photo simulations that are often required in the preparation of environmental impact reports, in which computer-aided designs of intended buildings are superimposed into photographs of existing environments to represent what that locale will be like, where the proposed facilities are allowed to be built. Potential blockage of view corridors and shadow studies are also frequently analyzed through the use of CAD.
There are several different types of CAD, each requiring the operator to think differently about how to use them and design their virtual components in a different manner. Virtually all of CAD tools rely on constraint concepts that are used to define geometric or non-geometric elements of a model.
There are many producers of the lower-end 2D sketching systems, including a number of free and open-source programs. These provide an approach to the drawing process where scale and placement on the drawing sheet can easily be adjusted in the final draft as required, unlike in hand drafting.
3D wireframe is an extension of 2D drafting into a three-dimensional space. Each line has to be manually inserted into the drawing. The final product has no mass properties associated with it and cannot have features directly add to it, such as holes. The operator approaches these in a similar fashion to the 2D systems, although many 3D systems allow using the wireframe model to make the final engineering drawing views.
3D “dumb” solids are created in a way analogous to manipulations of real-world objects. Basic three-dimensional geometric forms (e.g., prisms, cylinders, spheres, or rectangles) have solid volumes added or subtracted from them as if assembling or cutting real-world objects. Two-dimensional projected views can easily be generated from the models. Basic 3D solids do not usually include tools to easily allow the motion of the components, set their limits to their motion, or identify interference between components.
There are several types of 3D solid modeling
Top-end CAD systems offer the capability to incorporate more organic, aesthetic and ergonomic features into the designs. Freeform surface modeling is often combined with solids to allow the designer to create products that fit the human form and visual requirements as well as they interface with the machine.
