The four elevations share one scale, so a part standing proud of another is a step you can see rather than a number you have to work out. Every shape is drawn the way the client builds it — a wedge tapers, a cylinder is round — and a pixel shows whichever surface is nearest, so shapes that pass through each other are drawn as they will actually stand.

Review

note 'beacon' is entirely inside 'lantern_mount' and will never be seen.
note 'beacon' is entirely inside 'lantern_spoke0' and will never be seen.
note 'beacon' is entirely inside 'lantern_spoke1' and will never be seen.
note 'beacon' is entirely inside 'lantern_spoke2' and will never be seen.
note 'beacon' is entirely inside 'lamp' and will never be seen.

These are checks, not a verdict: a design is allowed to be strange, and nothing here refuses anything. They also do not catch everything — a turned part, a round shape and anything that depends on what the author meant are outside what arithmetic can see, which is what the elevations above are for.

Surfaces

Drawings this design carries. A part painted with one shows the pattern multiplied over its own colour, repeating the stated number of times across every metre — so the same drawing is the same size on a garden wall and on a tower.

Drawing	Stands for	On	Size	Identity
paving	`#b6a88e`	`plinth` 1×	312 B	`8e97d70f-78db-3883-83db-1e59ec27d941`

The swatch is the average of a drawing’s own fills, read out of its text rather than rendered — the server draws every picture on this site and rasterises no SVG, so that colour is what it paints a surfaced part with. The pictures above are then drawn again in your browser, which can rasterise one, with the real patterns in them. With scripting off you get the server’s drawing and these swatches, which is a flat design rather than a missing one.
