Only some of dimensions are shown. Between 3 and 4 What types of levels are shown on the elevations? Illustrated how levels are shown in relation to the elevation. G levels Is there a grid? If so, how/ where is it shown? • Yes. What types of information on the elevations are expressed using words? Illustrate how this is done. • Materials, finished section, things need to be changed Illustrate how the doors and windows are identified on the elevations. W 01 D 01 2.19 2.05 Find where this elevation is located on the plans A21-‐02
4. DRAWING CONTENT-‐SECTIONS Types of information shown in this section; How does it differ from the
information shown on the plan and elevation? • Gril • Level info • Room function Illustrate how the section drawing differentiated between building elements that are cut through and those that are shown in elevation (beyond). Provide examples of how different materials are shown on the sections. Find where this section is located on the plans
5. DRAWING CONTENT-‐DETAILS What sorts of things are detailed? • Internal details and finishes, building canopy, stairs Are the details compressed using break lines? Why? Yes. Provide examples of how different materials are shown on drawings at this scale. Find the locations of these details on the plans, elevations and sections.
Summary: Span: The distance measured between two structural supports. (Newton, 2014). (Please refer to Figure X). FIGURE X Spacing: “is the repeating distance between a series of like or similar elements.” (Newton,2014). • is usually measured center-‐line to center-‐line. (Please refer to Figure X).
