  2. Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(ratio)

    In such cases the scale is dimensionless and exact throughout the model or drawing. The scale can be expressed in four ways: in words (a lexical scale), as a ratio, as a fraction and as a graphical (bar) scale. Thus on an architect's drawing one might read 'one centimeter to one meter', 1:100, 1/100, or ⁠ 1 / 100 ⁠. A bar scale would also ...

    2mm scale / British N scale railway modeling. 1:150: 2.032 mm: Model railways (Japanese N) Used by Heller for model ships, and proposed by the Japanese to supersede 1:144 scale trains. Models which are commonly made in scale at 1:150 are commercial airliners - such as the Airbus A320, Boeing 777 all the way to the jumbo jets - the Airbus A380 ...

  4. Scale ruler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_ruler

    An architect's scale is a specialized ruler designed to facilitate the drafting and measuring of architectural drawings, such as floor plans and Multi-view orthographic projections. Because the scale of such drawings is often smaller than life-size, an architect's scale features multiple units of length and proportional length increments. [1]

  5. Axonometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    With an axonometric projection, the scale of an object does not depend on its location (i.e., an object in the "foreground" has the same scale as an object in the "background"); consequently, such pictures look distorted, as human vision and photography use perspective projection, in which the perceived scale of an object depends on its ...

    All information missing from the drawing is to be pulled from a 3D model of the part or assembly. LH: left-hand: Referring to handedness, such as the helix handedness of screw threads or the mirror-image handedness of a symmetrical pair of parts. LM or L/M: list of materials: Also called a bill of materials (BoM, BOM).

  7. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    When part definition is defined mathematically via a solid model, the assertion that one cannot interrogate the model—the direct analog of "scaling the drawing"—becomes ridiculous; because when part definition is defined this way, it is not possible for a drawing or model to be "not to scale". A 2D pencil drawing can be inaccurately ...

  8. Scale model - Wikipedia

    The next largest scale range, G scale (1:22.5) in the US and 16 mm scale (1:19.05) in the UK, and as large as 1:12 scale, is too small for riding but is used for outdoor garden railways, which allow use of natural landscaping. G scale is also sometimes used indoors, with the track mounted adjacent to walls at eye level of standing adults.

  9. Linear scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_scale

    The drawing was made 130 years after the bridge was built. A linear scale, also called a bar scale, scale bar, graphic scale, or graphical scale, is a means of visually showing the scale of a map, nautical chart, engineering drawing, or architectural drawing. A scale bar is common element of map layouts.
