English term or phrase: The picture is only for reference, please make the object as the standard.
Simple note in a user manual. Its the "...please make the object as the standard." that I'm not too sure about. Suggestions anyone?

I chopped the source term off, because it is a little too long for a Kudoz.

The sentence means there is a diagram of an object, indicating an attribute, such as orientation or for identification, which isn't a diagram that can be used for construction of the object. The reader has preexisting training in the fabrication of the object in question, and has been instructed to construct the object with standard attributes.

Asker: Hi ExScientiaVera, thanks for the input, though I'm not quite sure that's right. I've never heard the sentence before, and it generates no results when searching for it.... Thanks anyway though.
