elevation دو ابعادی خاکہ Explanation: From what I understand, in the given context, an “elevation” is a 2-dimensional projection of a 3-dimensional object, such as a building. It shows the different 2D side views of the building perpendicular to the ground plane. In other words, an “elevation” is a 2-D scaled drawing of a buiding, perpendicular to ground. It seems to me that the word “elevation” is used since the drawing/draft shows the height/elevation of each building component relative to ground. In Urdu: کسی عمارت کا دو ابعادی خاکہ جو سطحہء زمین سے عمودی مسطوی کا زاویہ دکھائے، اور اس زاویے سے، عمارت کے تمام نظر آنے والے عناصر کو تناسب سے دکھائے۔ یعنی عمارت کو کھڑی ہوئی شکل میں، مختلف زاویوں سے دو ابعادی مسطوی پر دکھانا۔ 2 Dimensional = دو ابعادی Plane = مسطوی perpendicular = عمودی The following are some options: دو ابعادی خاکہ دو ابعادی تناسبی خاکہ / تناسبی خاکہ زمین سے عمودی خاکہ / زمین سے عمودی دو ابعادی خاکہ تناسبی عمودی خاکہ زمین سے عمودی دو عبادی خاکہ I would suggest that a simple word or word combination be used, that is explained fully in brackets for the first time it is used, along with the English word.) For definition of “elevation”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevation_(view) There is link to a sample drawing of an elevation on this wikipedia page. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2009-08-07 19:14:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another term that comes to mind: عمودی تناسب, that is, "perpendicular scale" of the building, Since an "elevation" shows the relative scale of the visible components of the building, perpendicular to ground. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days13 hrs (2009-08-10 18:41:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you can't access the proper wikipedia page with the link above please see if the ending bracket of the word "(view)" is present in the address bar. I had to add the last bracket myself when I clicked this link. |
