Dimensioonitud

Dimensioonitud is an Estonian adjective meaning dimensioned or provided with measurements. It is formed from the noun dimensioon (dimension) and the suffix -itud, which marks a past participle or adjective indicating that measurements have been added to the subject. In technical writing, dimensioonitud is used to describe drawings, models, or objects that carry explicit numeric dimensions.

In practice, a dimensioonitud joonis (dimensioned drawing) shows precise values for length, width, height, diameter, and other quantities, along with dimension lines, extension lines, and arrows that indicate what is measured. CAD and BIM models can be dimensioonitud, allowing manufacturers, builders, or fabricators to extract measurements directly for fabrication or assembly. The term is often contrasted with dimensioonimata, meaning without dimensions or not provided with measurements.

Dimensioning relies on standards that specify how and where measurements appear, how tolerances are indicated, and how to avoid ambiguity in presentation. In everyday Estonian technical usage, dimensioonitud is common among engineers, architects, and draftspeople and appears in plans, specifications, and product documentation. With the growth of digital modeling, dimensioning also extends to three-dimensional models and related printed schematics.
