Volume (three-dimensionality) can be simulated in a two-dimensional work (like a painting). This self portrait by Rembrandt is an example of simulated, or implied volume. The face looks three-dimensional. In actuality, however, it is a two-dmensional (flat) artwork, a print.
Parsecs are used in astronomy to measure interstellar distances. A parsec is approximately 3.26 light-years or about 3.086×10 16 m (1.917×10 13 mi). Combining it with the "atto-" prefix (×10 −18) yields attoparsec (apc), a conveniently human-scaled unit of about 3.086 centimetres (1.215 in) that is used only humorously.

Forms have two basic attributes; Volume: the amount of space a form occupies and Mass: the volume is solid and occupies space. Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object. When artists enclose a space with materials that are not completely solid, they create an open volume.

Two scales, including the full-size scale, are combined on each face of the architect's scale.
In two dimensions, the use of value gives a shape the illusion of mass and lends an entire composition a sense of light and shadow. The two examples below show the effect value has on changing a shape to a form.
