The dimensions are the measurements of an object or space specified in a flat design. They are linked to technical drawing, which includes the graphic dimension with exact measurements and symbols of buildings, machinery, spaces or any other type of object.
All the spaces where people develop their lives on a day-to-day basis went through a plane where they were designed and thought out before being built or manufactured.
The dimensioning is the task with the highest degree of complexity of the technical drawing, because the rules of the dimensions must be known and, above all, the process of how what is being designed on the plane is elaborated or built.
5 Examples and applications of dimensions:
The areas where these technical drawing measurements, symbols, standards and procedures are used are shown below:
1) In construction
Today humans commonly live in houses or apartments. The dimensions help a technical draftsman to capture with exact measurements the wishes and indications of an architect who thinks how the house can be built.
Each area of the house has a plan that together will make up a general plan of the house. The measurements of the walls, ceiling, floors, elements such as windows and doors must be detailed in this plan.
Also, the positions of the electrical wiring and pipes must be detailed, which are distinguished from each other by the symbols used to identify them.
two)
Graphic design allows you to create or renew company or brand logos. Thanks to the dimensions you can create these logos.
For example, a new company wants to create its visual facade. The graphic designer begins to generate on the plane the ideas of the owner of the new company.
Little by little lines, curves and other graphic elements are drawn to mold the new image so that it can be reproduced at different scales and measurements without any problem.
3) F
The current factories produce in series and by thousands the products that are consumed daily.
Both the products and the machines that are made go through a design process where their final version is conceived.
This process is carried out with care and exact measurements so that the machines can produce them without any inconvenience and have a quality final product.
4)
Any modern motor vehicle goes through a process where it is thought and designed.
For this type of design, the use of dimensions is very important, because inside the vehicle there are thousands of moving and articulated parts that must work perfectly, otherwise the car would stop.
5) Fashion design
The clothes that are used on a day-to-day basis also go through a design process, where the dimensions play a fundamental role.
From the mind of the fashion designer to the making of the final piece, the measurements in the pattern must be exact so that each piece fits and can be reproduced in different sizes.
