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.
