Cards

Term
metric scale
Definition
graduates in proportions (ratios) with 1:5, 1:10, 1:50 being 1/4"
Term
engineer's scale
Definition
feet & fractions of a foot ex. 1" = 40'
Term
[image]
Definition
graphic scale
Term
orthographic drawings
Definition
use ortho projection to produce 3d drawings
Term
[image]
Definition
orthographic projection, object seen as a flat, tranparent object projected on a plane parallel to the face of the object
Term
scale of construction details
Definition
3" = 1'-0"
Term
where is the cut made for the horizontal plane of a floorplan?
Definition
5' but still shows construction elements above 5
Term
profile lines
Definition
heavy line distinguishing the solid from the void
Term
axonometric drawings (def) & types
Definition
view of an object includine to picture plan in a way that 3 principal axes are foreshortened. isometric, dimetric, and trimetric. isometric uses 30 degrees. diametric, 2 axes equally foreshortened. trimetric, all axes are foreshortened.
Term
[image]
Definition
isometric drawing.  uses 30 & 120 degrees. all lines drawing from the turned pciture plan are parallel (same as ortho (but the lines are oblique (angled)).  vertical axis is vertical, and horizontals at 30 degrees.  lines of projection are equal to the picture plane **ALL AXES ARE DRAWN TO SAME SCALE***
Term
[image]
Definition

oblique drawing.  uses 30, 45 or 60 degrees.  like iso, locates endpoints through projection along the axes.

advantage: can be used with a orthographic floor plan without redrawing

****3D VIEW BY TILTING FLOORPLAN***
Term
perspective drawings
Definition
are the most accoruate of 3d drawings because they use convergence. one point created when alll vertical lines are drawing vertically, and all lines at the sight line are drawing horizontally. all lines drawn parallel to the line of sight converge at a vanishing point(s).
Term
[image]
Definition

some key points about perspective:

picture plane (PP): imaginary vertical plane on with all points of the obest are projected to creat a 2 d image.  it can touch the back corner of the plan, or moved slightly forward (decrease) or back (increase) to alter the size of the perpective. moving it farther away from the picture plane will change the lines from the station point which widens the perspective

 

Term
station point
Definition
step 2, after the PP is determined. 2 lines estedn from the station point to the left and right parallel to the 2 major sets of parellel lines. they determine the vanishing points, where they intersect the picture plane vertical lines are projected downward
Term
height line
Definition
HL. point of true measurement only for vertical lines the ground line extends beyond and acts as tehcut off point for the drawing
Term
horizon line
Definition
this is the point at which the floor and wall height levels are determined. locate horizon first.
Term
what are the & in what portion of the development of presentation drawings do the constraints incorporated into a plan?
Definition
#2 concept diagram is where the constraints come in
1. bubble diagram
2. concept diagram
3. block diagram
4. schematic plan
Term
what should be included in plan for a presentation drawing
Definition
1. schematic design, include furniture
rendered,
client approval should be obtained before moving to the next stage of the process
Term
presentation model vs. study model
Definition
presentation model - detailed, accurate furniture, detail and finish respresentation. ususally done by a professional model builder due to complexity.
study model (aka working model) rough model used to aid in understanding 3 d aspects of a space. foarm core, chipboard, illustration board. 1/4 to 1/2" scale. may have some plan, color elements in it.
Term
important things to know about mock ups
Definition
different degress of presentation. when a full mock up, speced, client likely pays for it. if accepted, it will likely be used for final construction work
Term
orthographic drawings
Definition
lines of projection are perp. to picture plane. more than one is required to describe an object
