Spanish term

ambientar un dibujo arquitectónico

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
I am looking for the translation of «ambientar» and «ambientación».
In architecture, it refers to adding additional details like plants, people, etc., to «dress up» a plan or drawing in order to make it more visually appealing.
Sample sentence:
Aunque no hemos llegado a la parte donde ambientamos nuestro dibujo, colocaremos algunos muebles fijos en el espacio.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): philgoddard, Muriel Vasconcellos, Toni Castano

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

add entourage to an architectural drawing

Or, if you're writing for a non-specialist readership, you could just say "people and landscaping".

As architects, we use entourage – here defined as the surroundings of a building, or the parts of a drawing beyond purely architectural information, i.e., people, animals, plants, textures, shadow, and light – to tell the viewer what that space may be like when inhabited.

The Architectural Entourage is a collection of digital-born images of people and objects for use in student work. Architecture students refer to these images as “entourage”, and use them to provide scale, depth, human interest and mood in finished architectural renderings and designs

Thanks, Phil!

agree Décio Adams : Concordo com esta definição. Ambientar é combinar com o ambiente circundante.

provide a full presentation drawing

Here's another option (based on my training in the preparation of design drawings).

See definition from Wikipedia:
Basic presentation drawings typically include people, vehicles and trees, taken from a library of such images, and are otherwise very similar in style to working drawings. Rendering is the art of adding surface textures and shadows to show the visual qualities of a building more realistically. An architectural illustrator or graphic designer may be employed to prepare specialist presentation images, usually perspectives or highly finished site plans, floor plans and elevations etc.
