full-size (drawings) and isometric drawings
Explanation:
montea can mean many things, even template for stairs. However, here I think it means full-size drawing (translation from Robb's diccionario para ingenieros). The DRAE says for montea: dibujo de tamaño natural que en el suelo o en una pared se hace del todo o parte de una obra....

The idea for isometric comes from the Dictionary of Architecture, where it states that isometric projection is: method of showing a building with an illusion of three-dimensional form by drawing a plan to scale but not with right angles
