Drawings dimension lines

To set exact dimensions, choose Draw/Specify Options/Line or Apple-L and enter [0 1],... 

However, it is more instructive, and gives a more realistic view of the pores and their comparative dimensions, if you convert the line drawings into space-filling models. 

Figure 6-19 shows the correct placement of dimensions on a drawing. The numerical dimension is centered between its dimension lines. At the end of each dimension line is an arrowhead that contacts a line that has been extended for the drawing. This line is called an extension line. The extension line does not touch the object lines of the drawing. The thickness of both the extension line and the dimension line are thinner than the object lines on the drawings. (See Chapter 4 for more information on the types of lines.)... 

To develop this thought a bit, suppose that visual representation has an iconic dimension. Now we know it to be a law of iconic representation that complexity in the represented object is represented by complexity in the representation itself Thus, for example, if a line drawing of a house... 

Actually, there is even more to be done in our escape from the two dimensions of a book page. Line drawings can be approximated with models in which balls and sticks are used to represent atoms and the bonds between atoms. Other models concentrate on the bonds and leave it to you to imagine the atoms. Regardless of what kind of models your class uses, they probably do a relatively poor job of showing the steric requirements of the real molecules. When we refer to steric requirements, we mean the volumes of space that atoms occupy. Chemists have developed space-filling models, which attempt to show the volumes of space carved out by the atoms. Rgure 2.38 shows some representations of isopentane.

Condensed and bond-line formulas are abbreviated representations of molecules. Hashed-wedged line drawings illustrate molecular structures in three dimensions. 

Solid thin lines used for dimensioning include (1) dimension lines, which indicate the extent and direction of dimensions (2) extension lines, which indicate the point or line on the drawing to which the dimension applies and (3) leaders, which direct notes, dimensions, symbols, item numbers, or part numbers to features on the drawing. 

The dual lattice is obtained by drawing the bisectors of lines comrecting neighbouring lattice points. Examples of lattices in two dimensions and their duals are shown in figure A2.3.28. A square lattice is self-dual. 

Here we shall describe how the periodic-orbit theory of section 3.4, relating the energy levels with the poles of the spectral function g E), can be extended to two dimensions. For simplicity we shall exemplify this extension by the simplest model in which the total PES is constructed of two paraboloids crossing at some dividing line. Each paraboloid is characterized by two eigenfrequen-cies, o + and [Pg.72]

To establish the transfer units draw in line A-fi-C so that it is always half-way vertically between the equilibrium line and the operating line, making dimension 1-2 eqtxal to 2-3. fiegin drawing the transfer units at the overhead product 4, such that 4-9 equals 9-5, then drop vertically to the operating line and repeat the process always making the line A-fi-C bisect the horizontal portion of the step. At the feed point re-start the stepwise process if the transfer unit step does not terminate at the feed point 7.

Some companies use it only to obtain a rough three-dimensional view of the plant. Others include on it all pipes, valves, and electrical lines. In this case, a large number of orthographic drawings and layouts will be eliminated. In some cases the dimensions for some piping may be taken directly off the model, although usually a pipe sketch is also included (see Fig. 12-3) for each pipeline. This is sometimes... 

Let us consider what happens when V moves and we perform the operations in Equation (3.1). This is depicted in Figure 3.2. Here we have displayed the drawing in two dimensions for clarity, but our results will apply to the three-dimensional volume. In Figure 3.2 the volume is shown for time t, and a small time increment later, At, as a region enclosed by the dashed lines. The shaded regions Vj and Vn are the volumes gained and lost respectively. For these volumes, we can represent Equation (3.1) by its formal definition of the calculus as... 

The construction in 3 dimensions is in principle the same. You use a sperical (not polar) coordinate system, you draw the vectors and then the tangent plane (not line). 

Aristotle used the argument of perpendiculars to prove the impossibility of a fourth dimension. First he drew three mutually perpendicular lines, such as you might see in the corner of a cube. He then put forth the challenge to his colleagues to draw a fourth line perpendicular to the first three. Since there was no way to make four mutually perpendicular lines, he reasoned that the fourth dimension is impossible. 

You roll up the window. Sally, I think I can help you understand how a 3-D retina can visualize a human, inside and out, at the same time. First consider a blood transfusion for 2-D creatures via a tube that goes up into the third dimension and back down again into the plane of the creature. As far as the creature is concerned, you are not breaking the skin, which might be represented as a line in a drawing. Can you visualize how 4-D creatures can transfuse us (Fig. 3.5).
