German term or phrase: austragen
Heckspiegel *austragen* und abwickeln im Maßstab 1:1 in vorhandenem Aufriss.

Still sailing yacht construction in the outline phase and template production...

Transom ... and set in an angle on a scale of 1:1.

Thanks for your help (hopelessly and chin deep lost in German nautical terms...)

Explanation:
Wondering whether this 'austragen' could be the nautical equivalent of the mechanical 'ausfahren', which would give you 'extending/extension'; the fact 'abwickeln' (unwinding) follows seems to imply this to me, but it's only a hunch.
