French term

en X Y Z

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Construction contract
"l'Entreprise établira un plan de repérage, en X - Y - Z".

Is it a three-dimensional plan or an orthogonal projection?

Johannes Gleim Mar 23, 2011:
showing three dimensions is equal to orthogonal projection or showing elevation and location (North-South / East-West)
B D Finch (asker) Mar 22, 2011:
@Johannes I did; it is the heading immediately below your question!
Johannes Gleim Mar 22, 2011:
Could you please tell us what translation you have used?
B D Finch (asker) Mar 22, 2011:
Showing three dimensions According to the Client.
B D Finch (asker) Mar 21, 2011:
Additional Information This is a location drawing of the position of existing services external to the building. The reason that I think it is probably not a 3-D drawing is that it is likely to be provided on paper as well as in digital format, and an orthogonal or orthographic drawing allows dimensions to be measured on the plan as well as being labelled.
Bourth (X) Mar 21, 2011:
Should have checked Kiwipedia first, in which I have noted:

Plan de repérage Location drawing, aka Plan de montage

Not that I can remember what it is!
Bourth (X) Mar 21, 2011:
Maths vs engineering Your basic engineering drawing is an orthographic (sometimes "orthogonal") projection, i.e. a 2D representation of one facet of 3D reality. In maths - and elsewhere - orthogonal projection is something that doesn't bear thinking about.

Your 3D drawing might be a true perspective view, or for engineering purposes it might be an isometric drawing (all dimensions to scale, which is not true with perspective). For something as complex as a building, this would get very complicated .... For some mechanical component it would work very well. What are they drawing?

Then again, is it actually a drawing (plan) or simply a "plan", some kind of key to their coordinate system?
IRA100 Mar 21, 2011:
three-dimensional plan Orthographic projection or orthogonal projection is a means of representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions.
Tony M Mar 21, 2011:
No expert, but... I'd have thought it has to be "3-dimensional drawing", I don't really think 'orthogonal projection' would make any real sense here.


Note too that it may well be drawing and not plan

Please do not laugh at me if this makes no sense. LOL.

I do hope this helps.

I certainly wouldn't dream of laughing at you for trying to help! While I don't think it is relevant to the context, it might have been.

horizontally and vertically

Most plans are bi-dimensional (floor plan, ground plan). But some have also vertical views (elevation plans, upright section).

For ground plan and elevation plan see

Other plans are shown under

Before the commencement of the development, three (3) copies of plans drawn to scale and fully dimensioned, must be submitted to and approved by the Responsible Authority in consultation with the City of Stonnington (Council). The plans must be generally in accordance with the plans considered by the Advisory Committee but modified to show:

Thanks Johannes, but this is a location plan of services to be produced by the external works contractor.

in X Y Z

it is about a software .that's what I found while googling around .

Ils utilisent le software pour les plans de repérage .logique non ?

I thought you had got this right (and would have selected your answer, though with reduced points as you didn't provide supporting references). However, the client tells me that this is not what is meant.
