The ratio of measuring unit to the full-size item it represents. For example, stating that something is drawn at 1/4" scale or 1/4"=1', means that one quarter of an inh on paper represents exactly one foot of actual size. |

Term
|
Definition
A view of an object inclined to the picture plane in such a way that the three principal axes are foreshortened. There are three types of this type of drawing: isometric, dimetric and trimetric |

Term
|
Definition
| With isometric drawing, the lines of projection make equal angles with the picture plane. With a __________ drawing, one of the other two types of axonometric drawings, two of the principal axes are equally foreshortened. |

Term
|
Definition
| A three-dimensional view of an object where one plane of the object is parallel to the picture plane while the third axis is oblique to the picture plane. |

Definition
| Of all the methods used to draw objects, ____________drawings give the most accurate two-dimensional world. This is because they use the principal of convergence, which is the apparent diminishing size of objects as they get farther from the eye. |

Term
| What characterizes an isometric drawing? |
|
Definition
A)The view shows a cut about 5 ft above the floor B) All Axes are drawn to the same scale C) A three-dimensional view can easily be created by tilting a floor pla and extending vertical lines D)Lines of projection are perpendicular to the picture plane |

|
Definition
A) Standard Perspective B) Station Point C) Secondary Point D) Side Point |
