10.8. Tips to Draw Building Drawing
♦ Imagine and understand the building through the line
sketch.
♦ Imagine the horizontal cutting plane to remove the
portion of the building above the sill level to draw the
top view. Show the openings for the doors and
windows by referring the line plan or line sketch.
♦ The steps in top view are drawn as rectangles in front
of the main door. Number of steps is depending on
the height of the plinth or flooring.
♦ The sunshades are removed as a result of cutting;
they are also marked in top view using dashed lines.
♦ The ground line is drawn above the top view, the left
and right extreme walls are projected to the front view
for the height of the plinth and the height of the
building is drawn and the rectangle showing the front
view is completed. The doors, windows and steps are
projected from top view and drawn in front view with
appropriate dimensions.
