Learn about the function, utility, and method of creating vertical cuts in building design, including key dimensions and elements to include.
[...] It reveals the height relationships between levels, the thickness of floors, the ceiling height, and the connections between different spaces. Main Functions : -Show the vertical structure of the building (slabs, load-bearing walls, foundations, roof). -Explain the interior volumes and their articulation. -Facilitate the understanding of levels, ramps, stairs, floor heights, basements, etc. -Serve as a basis for pricing (slab heights, ceiling heights, NGF level, etc.). -Allow for regulatory verification (accessibility, fire safety, maximum height, etc.).

[...] Step Project the cut elements in bold lines (thick solid lines), and the elements seen in the background in fine lines. Step Draw hatchings on all the cut construction elements (walls, floors, etc.) to indicate the materials. Step Insert the openings (doors, windows) seen in elevation. Step Dimension all the useful levels (finished floor, floor, ceiling, roofing). Step Add useful annotations (use of rooms, materials, legends). Step Show the natural terrain and the projected terrain (if applicable). Bibliographic Reference: Bridgens, B., & Alexander, J. (2012). Architectural Drawing (2nd ed.). Laurence King Publishing.
