Check revised drawings and calculations
See this course’s project requirements
Collect the six lesson outputs into a set of drawings and calculations for the paper display model.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Record fractional dimensions and conversions with units and visible arithmetic.
- Produce a labeled scaled front view and a dimension-chain check.
- Calculate an area and quantity estimate using the supplied model data.
- Check whether each sample dimension falls within the stated tolerance limits, including values exactly at either limit.
- Deliver a consistent revised packet with a discrepancy log and independent checks.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- Numerical accuracy: conversions and estimates recompute correctly.
- Drawing clarity: views, units, scale, and dimension labels agree.
- Judgment: tolerance and missing-information decisions follow stated rules.
- Traceability: revision changes and their affected outputs are recorded.

The idea in everyday life
Technical mistakes often occur after a correct first draft, when one dimension changes but related calculations do not. A revision record makes those dependencies visible. You already have each component needed for this final audit: dimensions, units, views, quantities, and acceptance decisions. The task is to reconcile them and leave another reader a clear trail.
A changed input travels through every output that depends on it.
One step at a time.
Use the sample or information you have permission to use. Keep your work as you go. You can pause between steps.
- 1
Gather the preceding five outputs and label the original packet Revision A. Create a revision table listing changed input, affected sheet, old result, and new result.
- 2
Apply the supplied Revision B width of 340 mm, retaining height 180 mm and both 40 mm margins. Update the center dimension and the 1:4 front-view size.
- 3
Recalculate base area, covering area with the ten-percent allowance, perimeter, edging with its ten-percent allowance, and the whole-strip requirement. Show why an unchanged purchase count does not mean the underlying calculation stayed unchanged.
- 4
Check unit conversions backward, add the dimension chain, and compare new quantities with the old values. Retain the separate tolerance exercise unless its own specification changes.
- 5
Assemble a clearly labeled current packet and mark old sheets superseded. Finish with a short handoff note stating the governing revision, unresolved questions, and that the work is an educational paper model.
See how it works.
Fictional scenario: Revision B changes the display width from 320 to 340 mm while height stays 180 mm. Quinn updates the 1:4 paper width from 80 to 85 mm and the center-region dimension from 240 to 260 mm, keeping 40 mm margins. Area becomes 61,200 mm²; covering with the ten-percent allowance becomes 67,320 mm². Perimeter becomes 1,040 mm. The ten-percent edging allowance makes 1,144 mm, still covered by three 400 mm strips. Quinn retains the earlier sheet as Revision A and marks it superseded so a reader can see what changed without mistaking it for the current specification.
Did you cover these?
- Revision B center width is 260 mm and paper width is 85 mm.
- Revised base area is 61,200 mm², covering allowance total is 67,320 mm², and perimeter is 1,040 mm.
- Old sheets are marked superseded and three strips remain justified.
What to finish
The completed Revision B drawing and calculation packet with change log and handoff note.
Watch for this
Updating the visible drawing while leaving a quantity estimate tied to the old dimensions.
How can I tell I understand it?
A reader can identify the current version and independently reproduce every changed result.
