Never Mind, It doesn’t Matter
Apply your MIND, it does MATTER

How this art got formalized???
Long time ago….people expressed

their ideas as………
Bhimbetka, Bhopal
Sculptures of ROME
Gustave Eiffel
Bottomline
DESIGNERS may be the person or a group of people.
DESIGN has to be communicated to the manufacturers.
Communication can be done through sketches and Drawings.

Way of communication
What is Building Drawing???

It is the language of civil engineers.
Building Drawing conveys following Information
Geometry
Dimensions
Material
Why to draw? What to draw? How to draw?
• For Approval • Layout Plans • Lines

• Construction • Working Drawing • Curves
• Detailed Drawing
• Estimates • Signs
Components of drawing
• Drawing Sheet
• Lettering
• Lines
• Dimensioning
• Sign & symbols
Drawing Sheets
The Bureau of
Indian standards
related to
Drawing Sheets :

Title Block
Lettering
IS 9609- 2001
Purpose Size of letters in mm
Main titles 10, 12
Subtitles 5, 6
dimensions 4, 5
LINES
Bureau of Indian standards has given a code related to lines
IS 10714 – 2001
Deals with: purpose of different lines.

Thickness of different lines.
Dimensioning
IS 10718 - 1993
•What is our goal when dimensioning a part?

Basically, dimensions should be given in a clear and concise manner and
should include everything needed to produce.
LINES USED IN DIMENSIONING
Dimension lines
Extension lines
Leader lines
All three line types are drawn thin so that they will not be confused
with visible lines.
Dimension & Extension Line
A line terminated by arrow heads, which indicates the direction and

extent of a dimension.
Long Extension lines

Leader Line
A straight inclined thin solid line that is usually terminated by an

arrowhead, used to indicate the notes.
Avoid in leader lines……
• Crossing leaders.
• Long leaders.
Arrow Heads
Arrowheads are drawn between the extension lines if possible. If space is

limited, they may be drawn on the outside.
Types of Dimensions
Horizontal Dimension.
Vertical Dimension.
Angular Dimension.
Exercise:
Count how many linear, vertical & angular measurements in this:

DO’S & DONT’S
• The spacing between dimension lines should be uniform throughout the
drawing.
• Do not dimension inside an object or have the dimension line touch the
object unless clearness is gained.
• Dimension text should be horizontal which means that it is read from the
bottom of the drawing.
• Dimension text should not cross dimension, extension or visible lines.

Exercise:
List the dimensioning mistakes and then dimension the object
correctly.(5)
Spacing
Missing dim. (no.hole)
Text
No Gap
Don’t dim. inside the object.
Correctly Dimensioned:
• Dimension lines should not cross extension lines or other
dimension lines.
• Leader lines should be straight, not curved, and point to the

center of the arc or circle at an angle between 30–60 degree.
Exercise:
List the dimensioning mistakes and dimension them correctly. (4)
Dimension Placement:
• Dimensions should be grouped whenever possible.
• Do not dimension hidden lines.

Locating Features Using Datum

Conventional Signs
Conventional Signs are used in building drawings to represent various

building materials. Such as:
1. Brick
2. Stone
3. Concrete
4. Sand etc….
Conventional Symbols
They are used in building drawings to represent the actual object. They
are also known as CIVIL ENGINEERING SYMBOLS. Such as:
Wash basin
Shower
Bath tub
Door, window. Etc..

Objectives of Signs & Symbols
• To save time & space in drawing sheet.
• To achieve quick identification of the details.
• To avoid the confusion in interpretation of details by site

supervisors.
Conventional symbols
Abbreviation as per IS 962- 1989
Scale of Drawings
What is scale ????
What is full sized drawing..
Types of scale:
Numeric scale Graphical Scale

Doors
Doors are the framed structure which provides access to the building.
Lintels
Lintels are the structural members provided above the openings so as

to support the masonry load over it.
Thickness of the lintel is usually taken as 100 to 150 mm.

Stairs

Landing
Flooring
• The purpose of a floor is to provide a level surface for the occupants

of a building, furniture & equipment.
• The flooring will be generally of PCC of about 150 mm, finished with
cement mortar of 20 mm thick or of mosaic tiles or marble.
