CAD - Computer Aided Drafting Drawing SOLIDS Site planning - the process of creating scenery of land

Drawing is the language of engineers - solids contain the “mass properties” of 3D objects. for various purposes.

TYPES OF STAIRS Free-standing or scissor stair: similar to half-turn
 Straight flight staircase but with suspended half-landing. That is, the half-
 Half turn landing is supported by the two flights.
 Quarter turn Helical stair: it occupies less space than straight
 Spiral staircase flight and the shape look a helix from floor to floor.
 Helical stair case It is always a straight flight but turning as it rises.

TYPES OF WINDOWS Elevations - these are a pictorial view of each

 Framed windows facade of the building indicating windows, doors,
 Fixed windows etc.
 Casement windows Building sections - a detailed sectional view
 Sliding sash windows through the building is taken usually in the project
 Pivoted sash north-south and east-west direction.
 Shutter window Section and details - these are a larger-scale
dimensional detailed presentation of pertinent
TYPES OF ROOF construction components and their interface
 Mono-pitch roof connections with other materials.
 Double pitch roof Civil Engineering Drawings - indicate site and

space utilization and cost. It consists of several ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system;
