French term or phrase: "vue en perspective indicative"
In an article for a homeowner's association about the construction of a Water Sanitation & Treatment Plant, there is a note about some attached documents:

"(voir vue en perspective indicative et plan de masse définitif joints)"

First, am I correct that the "plan de masse" is the site plan?
And second, I'm having a hard time working out whether the "vue en perspective indicative" refers to a specific type of technical document. Any thoughts?

Merci beaucoup!

Note to reference poster
Asker: Hm. So I've got "vue en perspective" as maybe the "3-D view" but how does "indicative" work to modify it? Would that refer to a "projected" or "proposed" view? In other words, is this note telling the reader to "see the proposed 3-D image and definitive site plan, attached"? I might be satisfied with that, barring someone's more technically expert response...


Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)
neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: "indicative" reads to me as for information only, in other words perhaps not contractually binding, particularly given that it is next to xxx "définitif" which is a final drawing and no doubt therefore contractually binding.
