Journal of work activities, drawing changes, & meetings. It is a personal record - kept by date and time of each event. Meetings Multiple types. Well prepared drafters attend meetings with a pad of paper, writing utensil, appropriate drawing scales, calculator, red pen for markups. Expanding Skills Always ask questions (related, direct, professional, show interest; avoid misunderstandings.) Seek additional training: internet research, joining local drafting groups or national organizations, software sites & blogs. Learn the Sweets numbering system. Key Items for a Job Interview
A part of a set of plans that lists all of the materials needed Isometric A drawing method that enables three surfaces of an object to be seen in one view, with the base of each surface drawn at 30 degrees to the horizontal plane. Site Plan Drawing describing how a parcel of land is to be improved, including the outlines of all structures and site improvements, such as driveways, parking lots, landscaping, and utility connections. Revision Make corrections; improve, update Perspective Projection A drawing method that provides the illusion of depth on which additional drawings can be made Dimension Line Line showing the length of the dimension and terminating at the related extension line with slashes, arrowheads, or dots Aligned Section a view created from a cutting profile defined from non parallel planes. In order to include in a section certain angled elements, the cutting plane may be bent so as to pass through those features. The plane and feature are then imagined to be revolved into the original plane. Longitudinal Section A section produced when the cutting plane is parallel to the long axis of the structure, used to frame the roof, ceiling, and floor systems. Cutting Plane
A cut made for the purpose of creating a sectional view at the specified location. Cutting-plane lines can be placed on floor plans, foundation plans, or any place where a section needs to be drawn to show the internal construction. Change Order A component of the change management process whereby changes in the Scope of Work agreed to by the Owner, Contractor and Architect/Engineer are implemented. Redline an intermediate drawing that shows corrections or changes to a previous drawing. The term red line literally comes from the (typically) red pen used to amend the drawings by hand. Line of Site a line from an observer's eye to a distant point Transverse Section A section, often referred to as a cross section, produced when the cutting plane is parallel to the short axis of the structure. Floor Plan Architectural drawing of a room or building as if seen from above. Section A type of drawing showing an object as if it had been cut through to show interior construction Detail Enlargements of specific areas of a structure that are drawn where several components, or any features that are not defined on the plan. Elevation The exterior views of a structure
When a print is folded the bill of materials should end up on the front False The standard for architectural lettering is always drawn 3/32" high. False Architectural drawings use zoning more than mechanical drawings. True The most important drawing in a working set is the site plan. True A standard architectural triangular scale has how many scale types or indications? 11 The type of projection that utilizes vanishing points is called? Perspective projection A scale of 1"=20' would most likely be found on what drawing? Site plan An architectural C-size sheet measures? 18"x24" Preprinted title blocks are often placed on? The right-hand side of the sheet A process for identifying an area or areas, on a drawing that has been revised is called? Revisions Drawings that have been marked up for revision are called?

Flexible Curve A long strip fixed in position at a number of points that relaxes to form and hold a smooth curve passing through those points for the purpose of transferring that curve to another material. Blueprints A design plan or other technical drawing Blue-lines A negative copy of the original drawing
Blacklines A comparable dye-based print Plots A drawing that shows the plan of a building at ground level Graph Paper Paper printed with a network of small squares to assist the drawing of graphs or other diagrams Mylar A form of polyester resin used to make heat-resistant plastic films and sheets Vellum Fine parchment made originally from the skin of a calf Bond A strong, durable paper especially suitable to electronic printing and use in office machines including copiers and desktop printers. CADD Computer Aided Design & Drafting What is the difference between a plotter and a printer? A printer can print off a hard copy of almost anything, a plotter prints off strictly CADD drawings. A circle would be drawn with a protractor. False There are 12 scales on the standard architectural scale False A machinist's scale can be used for architectural scaling
It can.. but it is not recommended. Graph paper comes in only 1/4" squares. False Blueprints are still the most used type of drawing hard copy. False - diazo prints (blue-line prints are the most common) Ground Line The horizontal surface at the base of the perspective drawing Station Point The position of the observer's eye Horizon Line Represents the intersection of ground and sky Vanishing Points Always on the Horizon Line determining the angle of the perspective Picture Plane The plane that the view of the structure is projected onto True-Height-Line Line projected from PP and used for projecting all other surfaces to and then to VPs What are the major types of perspective drawings?
At one of the two vanishing points on the drawing. What is the effect of moving the station point? Changing the station point will change the relationship of the horizon line to the object that is being drawn. In a perspective, where is the actual height or true size of the structure shown? Lines in the picture plane appear as true length in the perspective projection. The picture plane must always be in front of the structure? False - can be placed in front or behind In a perspective drawing the vanishing point is the location of the observer's eye. False - the station point. The vanishing point is where the receding lines converge. The __________ represents a vertical plane called the ground plane. Ground Line The distance between the ground line and the horizon line represents the height of the observer's eye above the ground. True Two point perspectives are photo-like drawings and are accurate in details. True - show spatial relationships between objects. The first character identifies: A- 21 Discipline prefix Construction lines should never be erased True - dark enough to be seen, light enough to not be reproduced Taking a "slice" of a proposed structure is called a perspective
False - called a section. A perspective is a drawing method the provides the illusion of depth. Hidden lines touch at.. corners. Hidden lines intersect.. solid lines. True Angle An angle that bisects the angle formed by two adjacent parts of a straight line Bisecting an Angle A ray whose end point is the vertex of the angle and which divides the angle into two equal angles Rectified Length Determining the true length Perimeter The boundary of a closed geometric figure Skew Two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel.

A hip roof with a small gable forming the upper part of each end. Arch A curved structure that spans a space and may or may not support weight above it. What is the difference between a Cape Cod and Cape Ann style home? Cape Cod homes are usually one or one & a half stories, have a central chimney, have gable roofs, and have narrow trimmed lined siding. Cape Ann homes have a central chimney - but usually larger, have Gambrel roofs and have an attic. What is the minimum height for any living space ceiling? 7'-0" What are the responsibilities of an Architect, Contractor, and Designer?
Architects: responsible for building design & creating the plans for the contractor; HVAC plans, structural plans, electrical plans, etc. Contractors: hired by the client and architect to build the structure. They follow the plans in order to construct. Designers: similar to the architect's. They create designs and plans for the client and assist the architect. 5 Roof Styles
Yes In construction, what is a "veneer"? Brick veneer is a covering of brick applied to a timber frame, a decorative coating. It is NOT structural.

Hollow upper half of a sphere. What is the difference between a site plan and a plot plan? A plot plan generally shows a layout of existing structures while a site plan shows improvement or new construction to a lot Why is site selection important? It is important because all factors need to be understood, from a cost perspective, to what lies underground.
