COVER SHEET
• Is one of the most important pages in a set of drawings. It
lists information, such as the name of the project; the
location; and the names of the architects, engineers,
owner, and other consultant, involved in the design.

• List of abbreviations or graphic symbols, used in the


drawing set. There is often a section that contains
“general notes,” such as “all dimensions shall be verified
in the field,” or “all dimensions are to face of masonry.”
These notes help set the standards for background
information that you will encounter throughout the
drawings.
TITLE BLOCK
The title block is located in the lower right-hand corner of the
drawing and should include the following information:

• The prefixed number of the sheet

• The name of the drawing

• The date of the drawing

• The initials of draftsperson

• Any revisions to the final set of drawings


REVISON
Often, after the set of working drawings has been completed,
recommendations are made for correction or clarification of a particular
detail, plan, or elevation. While major changes may require redrafting an
entire sheet, smaller changes are shown as a revision of the original; all
changes must be clearly recognizable detail within a scalloped line that
resembles a cloud. Tied to the revisions marker is a triangle that encloses
the number of the revision. Revision are noted in the title block, or close
to it, by date and number. This procedure provides a mechanism for
identifying the latest version of drawings.
GRAPHIC FORMATS USED IN DRAWING
• PLAN VIEWS
• ELEVATIONS
• SECTIONS
• DETAILS
• SCHEDULES
• DIAGRAMS
PLAN VIEW
• Most common graphic view

• Provided the most complete view. The


most common plan view is the
architectural floor plan, which shows
doors, windows, walls and partitions.

• Plan views provide dimension, which


help you to calculate areas.
Dimensions should be accurate, clear
and complete, showing both the
exterior and interior measurements of
the space.
DETAILS
• For greater clarification and understanding, certain areas
of a floor plan, elevation, or a particular part of the
drawing may need to be enlarged. This enlargement
provides information that is critical to a part of the building
item that may otherwise not be available in another view.

• Enlargements are drawn to a larger scale and are referred


to as details. Details can be found either on the sheet
included in the various disciplines they reference. The
detail is shown in larger scale to provide additional space
for dimension and notes.
ELEVATIONS
• Elevations provide a pictorial view of the walls
of the structure, similar to photograph of a wall
taken perpendicular to both the vertical and
horizontal planes. Exterior elevations may be
titled based on their location with respect to
the headings of a compass

• Interior elevations provide views of the wall of


the inside of a room. They illustrate
architectural features, such as casework,
standing and running trims, fixtures, doors,
and windows. Exteriors elevations provide a
clear depiction of doors and windows, often
using numbers or letters in circles to show
types that correspond to information provided
in the door and window schedule. .
BUILDING SECTIONS
• Commonly referred to as the section,
is a vertical slice or cut through of a
particular part of the building.

• It offers a view through a part of the


structure not found on other
drawings. Several different sections
may be incorporated into the
drawings. Sections taken from a plan
view are called cross-sections; those
taken from an elevation are referred
to as longitudinal sections, or simply
wall sections
SCHEDULES
• Schedules list information pertaining to a similar group of
items, such as doors, windows, room finishes, columns,
trusses, and light or plumbing fixtures. The most common
schedules are door, window, and room finish schedules.
However, information on any repetitive type of item can be
assembled into a table and incorporated in a set of
drawings.

• Schedules are not limited to architectural drawings, but


can be found in any disciplines included within the set.
