Competency: 206.00

Draw wall sections and details

Objective: 206.05

Determine the purpose and features of a wall section.

Sectional Drawings

 Used to reveal the internal construction

 Provide information concerning materials and assembly

 Detail sections show specific parts of construction

Sectional Basics

Cutting Planes

 Edge of cutting plane is drawn as a line on the floor plan

 Heavy, dark line

 Coding includes two dashes

 Arrows indicate direction of sight

 Most often attached to a circle that identifies the section and its location within the drawing set

Sectional Basics

Cutting Planes

 Sometimes only the ends are shown to prevent interference with other information

 Assumed to be a straight line between ends

 If offset, the bend (offset) is shown

 A cutting plane extending fully across the short dimension of the structure defines a transverse section

 A cutting plane extending fully across the long dimension of a structure defines a longitudinal section

Sectional Basics

 Section lining (hatching)

 Features behind the cutting plane are not section, but are shown in proper position and scale

 Materials are defined by symbols

(section lines)

 Hatching (section lining) is thinner than visible lines

Section hatching

Common Symbols

Brick

Steel

Insulation

Section hatching

Common Symbols

Earth Sand

Gravel

Concrete

Lumber

Drawing Scale

 Sections showing the entire building are drawn at small scales

¼” = 1’-0” are most common

 Small scales do not allow detail

 Break lines are used to reduce distances by removing repetitive information

 Used where construction does not change over a long distance

 Allows drawing large areas at readable scales

 Long break lines have a center zigzag or looped connection

Drawing Scale

 Scale selected for a Typical Wall

Section should allow the details to be clearly shown while still fitting the available space

¾” = 1’-0”

1” = 1’-0”

1½” = 1’-0”

Dimensions

 Specific elevation numbers, distances, and sizes of building materials

 Important dimensions are often included

 Floor to ceiling heights

 Crawl space vertical height

 Footing sizes

 Foundation wall thickness

 Roof overhang

 Roof slope

Dimensions

 The order of notes is to give number, size, and material description of various building elements

 Ex: 2-2 x 4 DOUBLE TOP PLATE

 Leaders lead from the note to where the note applies
