◦ Scale-the ratio of the size of the object as drawn to the
object’s actual size
◦ Revision blocks- Information on revisions
 Clear area of approximately half and inch

 Presents the information for constructing the
project
◦ Floor plan
◦ Elevations of the building
◦ Sections
◦ Details
 Located in the drawing area, usually in the
