2. Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(ratio)

   Examples include a 3-dimensional scale model of a building or the scale drawings of the elevations or plans of a building. [1] In such cases the scale is dimensionless and exact throughout the model or drawing. The scale can be expressed in four ways: in words (a lexical scale), as a ratio, as a fraction and as a graphical (bar) scale.

3. Proportional symbol map - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_symbol_map

   Other non-negative spatially intensive ratio variables can technically be mapped as proportional symbols, such as proportions (e.g., Percent ages 0–17), but can lead to misinterpretations because they do not represent amounts (although proportions can be represented using proportional pie charts).

4. Scale ruler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_ruler

   An architect's scale is a specialized ruler designed to facilitate the drafting and measuring of architectural drawings, such as floor plans and Multi-view orthographic projections. Because the scale of such drawings is often smaller than life-size, an architect's scale features multiple units of length and proportional length increments. [1]

5. Proportion (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportion_(architecture)

   In classical architecture, proportions were set by the radii of columns. Proportion is a central principle of architectural theory and an important connection between mathematics and art . It is the visual effect of the relationship of the various objects and spaces that make up a structure to one another and to the whole.

6. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

   Each iteration of the Sierpinski triangle contains triangles related to the next iteration by a scale factor of 1/2. In affine geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling [1]) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that is the same in all directions (isotropically).

7. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

   An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing that is used to convey information about an object. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing.
