Competency: 207.00Draw exterior elevations Objective: 207.02 Demonstrate the purpose and features of an exterior elevation.
Exterior Elevations • Two-dimensional, flat, orthographic representations of the building’s exterior • Each elevation shows the final appearance of one side of the building • Each elevation shows the final appearance of one side of the building
Exterior Elevations • Four exterior elevations are shown • Elevations are drawn at the same scale as the floor plan • Labeled as Front, Rear, Right, and Left Side Elevations • Compass directions are often used to label elevations (North, South, East, West Elevations)
Exterior Elevations - Features • Doors and Windows • Roof slope and material • Surface and trim materials • Vertical distances and material notes
Exterior ElevationsConstruction Elements • Project horizontal measurements from floor plan downward onto the developing elevation drawing • Vertical distances are projected from a scaled section • Elevations for working drawings do not include landscaping features
Exterior Elevations - Symbols • Windows • Doors • Grade line • Wall finish materials are shown in simple symbols in scattered locations to prevent crowding • Roof features • Materials notes
Exterior ElevationsCommon Surface Materials • Brick • Horizontal siding • Vertical siding • Stucco • Stone • Concrete • Flashing • Glass • Roofing
Exterior Elevations - Symbols • Below-grade elements (footings, foundation wall, etc.) are drawn using hidden lines
Exterior ElevationsDimensioning • Vertical distance from floor to ceiling (varies according to client needs) • Vertical distances from floor to tops of windows and doors is usually 6’-8” • Vertical distances to footings (from grade or floors) • Elevations that relate to the site topography • Horizontal distances for roof overhangs • Notes that specify wall and roof finish materials • Roof slope symbols showing rise and run
