SCALE & DETAIL
We usually draw building elevations at the same scale as the
1
accompanying fioor plans- 1 = 1~-0" or 1 =1-0". We
/8"
/4"
may use a smaller scale for large buildings and complexes.

• As always, including human figures inelevat ion
drawings helps establisha sense of scale and
reminds us of the intended patterns of activity
and use.

• This attention to detail is most critical when
drawing the texture and pattern of cladding
and roofing materials, door and window units,
and how materials meet at corners. A general
knowledge of how buildings are constructed is
therefore extremely beneficial when executing
large-scale building elevations. Refer to
manufacturers' catalogs for information on
building materials.
