Section 4 Construction Systems and Supplemental Drawings
When you are preparing to draw building
sections, be very careful to ensure that all of your
height measurements are precise. Remember
that plan view drawings do not include height
information. The contractor will depend on the
building sections to make certain the building
is constructed correctly.
Drawing Building
Sections
After you have gathered all of the necessary
information, you can begin drawing the building
sections for a project. Procedures are given in
this chapter for using both manual and CADD
techniques.
Figure 21-8. Foundation detail sections like these may be needed, depending on the type of foundation
to be used and any special circumstances in the design project.
Figure 21-9. Standard framing would not work
for the front entrance to this luxury home. What
