    3 Drawing layout and


    presentation
    Dr. Benny Raphael
    Assistant Professor, Department
    of Building, NUS

    Introduction
    For effective communication drawings have
    to follow standard conventions and
    practices. Professional standards exist in
    layout and presentation.

    Layout
    Important to have drawings logically and neatly
    arranged to give a balanced layout
    Parts of a drawing sheet
    Filing margin
    Title and information panel
    Project title, name, drawing number, scale, date, etc.

    Minimum space to be used for title and information


    panel => more space for drawing

    details
    Broken concealed edges

    Section lines

    Section lines

    Lettering
    To provide information on drawing
    General notes may be collected in groups
    Specific particulars should be near the items
    to which they relate
    Should not obscure any part of the drawing

    Graphic symbols
    Time can be saved and confusion avoided if standard
    range of symbols is used these are found in CP6:1978
    Get familiar with the standard symbols for
    Electrical, gas and water installations
    Plumbing and sanitary drainage
    Fire fighting systems
    Doors and windows
    Landscaping
    Representation of materials
    Common symbols

    Dimensions
    Should not be confused with the figure
    Two units used
    m written with three decimal points
    mm written without decimals
    Eg.
    3.3000
    - implied unit m
    330
    - implied unit mm

    Working drawings
    Plan a view from above projected on a
    horizontal plane. Building plans are drawn
    for each floor at one meter above floor
    level cutting through walls, doors, windows
    Elevations external faces of buildings
    including doors and windows
    Sections taken vertically through a building
    cutting through foundations, walls, etc.

    Projections
    Projections provide a view of a 3D object on
    a 2D surface.
    Orthographic
    Isometric
    Axonometric
    Perspective

    Orthographic projection
    In orthographic projection principal planes of
    projection are at right angles to each
    other.

    Isometric projection
    Length, breadth and height are shown in
    one drawing
    Vertical lines remain unchanged. Horizontal
    lines are drawn at 300 to the horizontal

    Axonometric projection
    Similar to isometric.
    Horizontal lines are drawn 450 to the
    horizontal

    Perspective projection
    Similar to images obtained by a camera.
    Lines (projectors) are drawn from the eye
    (position of camera) to the object. Where these
    lines meet the plane of projection, points are
    plotted.
    Parallel lines do not remain parallel

    Projections: Examples

    Example 1

    Example 2

    Elevation

    Plan

    Side View

    Example 3

    Summary
    Conventions for drawing layout and
    presentation should be followed.
    Orthographic, isometric and perspective
    projections are important in conveying
    information.
