least six dimensions but you can add as many as you feel are required in order for the manufacturer to make your solution.

the solution then the scale is 1:1.

If the drawing is half the size of the solution then the scale is 1:2.

If the drawing is a 3rd the size of the solution then the scale is 1:3.
