SCALE & DETAIL Large-scaleplan drawings are useful for the study and presentation of highly detailed spaces, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and stairways. The larger scale enables information about floor finishes, fittings, and trim work to be included. Conversely, the larger the scale of afloor plan, the more detail we should include. This attention to detail is most critical when drawing the thicknesses of construction materials and assemblies that are cut in the plan view. • Pay careful attention to wall and door thicknesses, wall terminations, corner conditions, and stair details. Ageneral knowledge of how buildings are constructed is therefore extremely beneficial when executing large-scale floor plans. MULTIVIEW DRAWINGS/ 47
