Spanish term or phrase: maquetas volumetricas
I am translating a book called "maquetas" and am struggling with the exact names for the different types. Does anyone have a good reference for a site that explains all the different types, ideally with translation in Spanish? For example, "maquetas volumetricas". I don't think it is as simple as "volumetric scale models" either! Also "maquetas de trabajo" (for architectural projects). Perhaps this is a question for architecture experts please, as I think it is a tricky one... Thank you for any advice you may have!

massing models


Explanation:
Es muy probable que "maquetas volumétricas" quiera decir "massing models". Estas maquetas se hacen para estudiar el volumen del edificio, sin detalles de ventanas, puertas o adornos. Se ve si el edificio va bien con su entorno, con la escala de otros edificios vecinos, solamente en volumen y visto desde afuera, sin analizar en esta etapa los espacios interiores. :)

Reference

Reference information:
These definitions may be useful:
A massing model is a very simple, exterior-only type of architectural 3D model, used to study the essence of the overall 3D form and proportions of an architectural design.

A spatial model is an architectural 3D model with an intermediate level of detail, usually including some of both the interior and exterior of the structure. The spatial model may not be fully realistic, but it usually allows interior as well as exterior walkthroughs.

A detailed model is a relatively complete interior/exterior architectural 3D model, used to view an architectural design relatively realistically. A detailed model often includes material textures, and even details like furniture and major ornamental elements.
