Name the three types of scales that exist and what they are most commonly used for. |
1) Architects Scale - feet and inches - common type is 12 in triangular - 12 different scales 2) Metric Scale - large-scale proportions = 1:5 - small-scale proportions = 1:300 3) Engineer's Scale - includes feet and fractions of a foot - ID usually sees used for site plans - 1 in = 100' |

|
What is the standard scale used for floor plans of very large buildings? |
1:200 or 1/16"=1'-0" |
|
|
What is the standard scale used for floor plans? |
1:100 or 1/8"=1'-0" |
|
|
What is the standard scale used for floor plans, simple interior elevations, building sections? For complex interior elevations and complex building sections? |
1)1:50 or 1/4"=1'-0" 2) 1:30 or 3/8"=1'-0" |
|
|
What is the standard scale used for enlarged floor plans and very complex elevations? |
1:20 or 1/2"=1'-0" |
|
|
What is the range of scales used for details? |
1) 1:10 or 1"=1'-0" 2) 1:5 or 3"=1 '-0" 3) 1:2 or Half full size 4) 1:1 or full size |
|
|
What is a graphic scale? |
It is a band of alternating light and dark portions, each represent a certain length. - not as accurate, useful when drawings are reproduced at an odd size for presentations or publication.
|
|
|
What are the benefits of orthographic drawings/projections? |
- allows information to be communicated for accurately even the most complex objects - allows viewer to understand true relationships of all pieces - no distortion - can be drawn to scale
|
|
|
What are the various types of plans that exist? What height is a floor plan typically cut at? |
- Floor plan, reflected ceiling plan, roof plan, site plan - 5' |
|
|
What is typically shown on an elevation? |
- vertical dimensions, - materials and finishes - some horizontal dimensions can be described if not enough room on plan . ie. cabinet widths |
|
|
What is included in a section drawing? |
- relationship between solids and voids - vertical dimensions - material indications if cut through - thin lines representing information of object beyond section cut - typically called details in interior design as they are typically large scale views |
|
|
What is an axonometric drawing? what are the three types? |
Axonometric: view of an object inclined to the picture plane so that the three principal axes are foreshortened
1) Isometric Drawing 2) Dimetric Drawing 3) Trimetric Drawing |
|
|
What is an oblique drawing? |
- 3D view of an object where one plane of the object is parallel to the picture plane while the third axis is oblique to the picture plane - shows one plane of an object in true shape and scale
|
|
|
What is the principle of convergence? |
The apparent diminishing size of objects as they get farther from the eye. - explains how a set of parallel lines will appear to be nonparallel and point to, or converge on the same point, vanishing point. |
|
|
Name the two types of perspective drawings and list the four characteristics of them. |
1) one-point and two-point 2) vanishing point (can be left and right as well), picture plane, station point, horizon line |
|
|
List the various diagrams that can be used to synthesize programming information and communicate preliminary design information. |
- one and two point perspectives - bubble diagrams - concept diagrams - block diagrams |
