A drawing that uses multiple two-dimensional views to represent a three-dimensional object.

The system used in orthographic drawings where views are related to each other through right angles.

Different two-dimensional views within an orthographic drawing representing the object from different directions.

The view of the object as seen from directly above, showing its plan or layout.

The view of the object as seen from the right side, showing its height and depth.

A line composed of alternating long and short dashes indicating the center of an object or a feature.

A line used to connect a note or label to a specific object or feature on a blueprint.

The ratio that represents the relationship between the size of the drawing and the actual size of the object being drawn.

The number you multiply all the dimensions of an original figure by to create a scaled version of the figure.

Measurements on a blueprint are scaled down to fit on the paper, representing the actual dimensions of the building.

Understanding the divisions on a ruler to measure objects on a blueprint.

Major divisions on a ruler are the whole inches and the ¼ markings.

There are four major divisions in an inch, with each division representing ¼ of an inch.

A ruler where each line represents 1/16 of an inch.

A ruler where each line represents ¼ inch.

A ruler where each line represents 1/8 of an inch.

Engineer's scales are used to represent very large distances in small drawings, such as for plot plans, building sites, and large construction projects. They are also used for measuring roads, water mains, and topographic features.

Rulers calibrated specifically for very small scales used in engineering drawings.

The numbers on an engineer's scale are in increments of 10. The whole number to the left of the number line indicates the scale. The small lines between the whole numbers represent individual feet.

Engineer scales are 12 inches long.

Each inch on an engineer's scale is broken down into 10 increments, each representing 1/10 of an inch

A type of architectural drawing that shows the layout of a building from above, including walls, rooms, and furniture.

An architectural drawing that shows a side view of a building, displaying its exterior and height.

An architectural drawing that reveals a sliced portion of a building, revealing its internal structure.

A specialized measuring tool used by architects to accurately draw building plans in proportion to their real-life dimensions.

A scale used for drawings related to civil engineering projects, often involving larger structures.

A type of line used in drawings to indicate that a part of the object is too long to fit on the page and is omitted.

A type of line used in drawings to indicate objects or features that are concealed from view but are present within the structure.

Detailed written instructions that explain how the building is to be built.

A specialized ruler used to measure distances on architectural drawings, which are not drawn to actual size. It helps convert the scaled measurements on the drawing to real-world dimensions.

The relationship between the size of an object on a drawing and its actual size in real life. It's often expressed as a fraction, like "1/8", meaning 1 inch on the drawing represents 8 inches in reality.

Represents a 1:1 ratio, meaning the drawing is the same size as the actual object. It's rare in architectural drawings because buildings are too large.

A scale used for architectural drawings where the divisions of the ruler represent 1 foot in the real world. It's the most common scale for large structures.

A scale used for smaller objects or details where the divisions of the ruler represent 1 inch in the real world.

A common scale used in architectural drawings where 1/8 inch on the drawing represents 1 foot in the real world.

A type of architect's scale with 11 different scales on its six sides, allowing for a variety of scaling ratios.

A type of architect's scale known for its precise markings and bevel edges, designed for more accurate measurement.

Drawings typically prepared by an architect, outlining the overall aesthetic, size, shape, and appearance of a construction project.

A substantial horizontal support in a structure, constructed from materials like steel, stone, or wood.

A photographic print of a technical drawing, typically with white lines on a blue background or vice versa, often used for architectural plans.

Drawings that depict the site where a building will be constructed, showing aerial views, contours, trees, features, and dimensions.

The primary method used today to create most blueprints, utilizing computer software to design and modify drawings.

Lines on civil drawings that represent elevation changes on the land, indicating the shape of the earth.

A collection of documents used to describe all aspects of a construction project, including plans, specifications, conditions, and the construction contract.
