A building's surface detailing, inside and outside, often includes decorative moulding, and these often contain ogee-shaped profiles—consisting (from low to high) of a concave arc flowing into a convex arc, with vertical ends; if the lower curve is convex and higher one concave, this is known as a Roman ogee, although frequently the terms are used interchangeably and for a variety of other ...
The edge treatment for solid-surface countertops can be very elaborate. The material itself is usually only about 12 mm (1 ⁄ 2 in) thick so an edge is usually created by stacking up two or three layers of the material. The built-up edge then can be shaped to a rounded edge or an ogee. Fancier edge treatments are more expensive.
Roof shapes include flat (or shed), gabled, hipped, arched, domed, and a wide variety of other configurations detailed below. [1]Roof angles are an integral component of roof shape, and vary from almost flat to steeply pitched.
[3]: 73 Ovolo and cavetto elements can be combined to form compound moldings; most simply, with the convex ovolo molding below the cavetto, it is known as cyma recta (for its wave-like cross-section), a type of common edge profile commonly referred to as ogee.
The traditional or secant ogive is a surface of revolution of the same curve that forms a Gothic arch; that is, a circular arc, of greater radius than the diameter of the cylindrical section ("shank"), is drawn from the edge of the shank until it intercepts the axis.
An accolade is a pointed arch composed of two ogee curves, also known as sigmoid lines, which mirror one another. [3] [1] It can be formed by a pair of reverse ogee curves over a three-centred arch ending in a vertical finial. [4] [5] The form can also be described as the combination of a convex arch and a concave arch. [6]
The negative pressure leads to a 6% to 7% increase in discharged water compared to a free nappe. [8] Clinging nappes have no air beneath, and the stream flows along the face of the weir. The shape that fills in this area is called an ogee. Discharge for these weirs is approximately 25% to 30% more than free nappes.
One plate, the "Copper Solar Ogee Deity", is a 21-inch (53 cm) high repoussé copper plate depicting the profile of a dancing winged figure, wielding a ceremonial mace in its right hand and a severed head in the left. The extended, curling nose resembles a proboscis and resembles another S.E.C.C. motif, the long-nosed god maskette.
