Preparing a Line Plan

The plan drawn with single line showing different positions of rooms
with dimensions excluding the thickness of walls is called Line Plan.

After determining the plinth area and shape of building, draw the
North line is a corner to facilitate the orientation of different rooms.

Projection of Plan

Top view of lower part of a building projected on a horizontal

plane, by assuming it to be cut by horizontal cutting plane at a
height of 1.5m from plinth level is called a plan.

Projection of Elevation & Section

Projection of Elevation:
The front view projected on a vertical plane is called front
elevation. When the object is looked at from side then it is called
side view.
Projection of Section:
A view obtained on a vertical plane when the building is assumed
to be cut by it is called a section.

Detailed Drawing
A drawing showing a detailed plan section and elevation along
with other necessary data is called a detailed drawing.
While drawing detailed drawing, following should be drawn:

North line
References
Scale
Dimension and heights of rooms.
Lintels over doors and windows and other openings.
