Goal

Definitely, the mechanical units should have some advantage for engineers to apply easily.

Anywhere applicable

Use easier

Children relative-less

Unit repeatable

Process consistent Operation simplified

Water Drop sign

1. The top point is for direction.

2. The arc center is for sketched dimension.

3. The surface is for height.

This sign has to be created for modules’ reference.
