Spanish term

Sistema acotado

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Architecture University Study Plan for Architecture
These terms refers to a type of topographical representation in which height is indicated. I could not find an equivalent in English. Perhaps there is none?
The string appears in this context:

Reconocer las propiedades del sistema acotado, su planteamiento y utilidad.

Representar en el sistema acotado el punto, la recta y el plano, así como las relaciones geométricas entre dichos elementos (intersección, paralelismo y perpendicularidad)

dimensioned system

I'll try again, with the info now available

Perhaps dimensioned is the word?

indicated system

I think it just means "the system that has just been defined " or "referred to" ie "the indicated system"

DRAE has "citar" as one of the synonyms, so: citado = acotado= mentioned.
Note from asker:
No, I am afraid, again, that this is not the answer. As I said before, in this context "acotado" refers to "cota", i.e height. It is specific to the topic of projections in architecture

@Gwendolyn. I beg to differ. The topographical representation of an area or thing can be delimited by height, as well as by depth or width, etc.
Note from asker:
No, I am afraid this is not the answer. The projection system has nothing to do with limitations or bounds, rather it is related to hights (cotas). So none of the strings referring to types of boundaries (delimited system, bounded system, etc) is a good rendering for "sistema acotado" in this context
It can. But, etymologically, "sistema acotado" take its name from "cota": "altura o nivel en una escala"(RAE), hence "acotar". "poner cotas en planos topográficos (RAE, def 2), but not from "delimitar el ámbito o espacio de algo" (RAE, def 1). The best possible translation is hence "dimensioned system"

Acotado
El termino acotado significa colocarle a un dibujo sus dimensiones.
Principios básicos de acotado:
- Deberán acotarse todas las dimensiones de anchos, altos, gruesos, diámetros, radios, etc. Según sean las necesidades funcionales del objeto.
- Colocación de cotas parciales y totales, estas deberán de trazarse en un orden claro y sencillo de interpretar.
- el rotulado para las medidas siempre será de 3mm.
- No deben de ser trazadas líneas de acotado en el ancho de la elevación y perfil.
- En perfil solo se coloca el acotado en algunos casos.
- Las líneas de cota deben de ser paralelas a la pieza.
- Las líneas de cota deben estar separadas por lo menos un cm de la pieza
