Cards Term graphic scale Definition used when drawings are going to be reproduced at smaller or larger sizes than the original numeric scale. scale always remains in proportion to the print size Term what is a drawing that shows a top view of a building and it's surroundings Definition site plan Term what characterizes an isometric drawing? Definition all axes are drawn to the same scale Term orthographic drawings are unreal views of objects primarily because Definition the point of view is directly in front of every location on the object (elevation drawings) Term perscpective drawings Definition give the most accurate two dimensional representation of the three dimensional world because it uses the principle of convergence (dimishing size) Term picture plane in perspective drawing Definition the imaginary vertical plane on which all points of the object are projected to create the two dimensional image. Term station point (SP) Definition two lines are extended from the station point to the left and right parallel to the two major sets of parallel lines of the object - Term horizon line in perspective drawings Definition at some convenient point under the plan, a horizontal line is drawn across the paper, the horizon line, and represents the place where the earth meets the sky. Term vanishing points Definition the points where the horizon line intersects the two vertical lines projected from above - the left vanishing point & the right vanishing point (VPL, VPR) Term height line Definition where the picture plane touches the plan drawing - the only line on the perspective drawing where vertical dimensions can be directly scaled. Term a perspective is the best drawing type to use when presenting to a client because Definition it shows the most realistic view of the perception of space and objects Term which scale measurements should never be used when preparing drawings Definition 3/16" and 3/32", because they are too close to the 1/8" and 1/4" measurements Term oblique drawing Definition an oblique drawing is one that has it's planes parallel to the picture plane, so an existing floorplan or elevation can be used as a starting point.
