• Larger scales of3/8 . 3/4 , or 1-W' =1'-0 are used
only for detail sections illustrating such conditions as

A general knowledge of how buildings are constructed
is therefore extremely beneficial when executing largescale sections.
• For larger buildings and complexes. the scale may be
reduced to 1 = 1 .
