Japanese term (edited): 側面破断図

http://www.jproc.ca/rrp/rrp2/visual_lights.html

1) 側面破断図 = Side view cutaway diagram/drawing
2) 正面概略図 = front view/front elevation schematic diagram/drawing
3) 上面破断図 = Top view/upper part cutaway diagram/drawing

These are types of diagrams showing different "views" of a particular machine/component, etc. in a three dimensional way.

Also, there are many other variations on how to express the three terms above, but I've put some websites below to explain how I came with my definitions.


1) 側面破断図 = Side view cutaway diagram/drawing
2) 正面概略図 = front view/front elevation schematic diagram/drawing
3) 上面破断図 = Top view/upper part cutaway diagram/drawing

front view/front elevation/elevation/elevated view

My house was built from my design and the builder provided me with all sorts of document including the "Artists' impression" which is titled as "Elevations" and it shows the drawing of the house to be built, viewed from the left, right, front and back.
HTH!

I am not sure why the drawing was titled as "elevations" though.
