Good morning Ioanna,
As you will see from my discussion entries of this morning, the word "outline" is English can also mean "shape" (σχήμα, μορφή). This reinforces my opinion that the Pantazis Dictionary of Technical Terms correctly interprets "περιτύπωμα" to mean "outline".

Thank you, Peter.

neutral  Andras Mohay (X): "Περιτύπωμα" αναφέρεται μάλλον στη διατομή (προφίλ) και όχι στην κάτοψη (οριζοντιογραφία) προκειμένου για οδοποιΐα. Αυτό ήθελα να τονίσω. Δεν ξέρω αν ταιριάζει και εδώ το "outline": ίσως ναι, ίσως όχι.
